Note to self: Preparing for 4th Brain Surgery

Today I found bits and pieces of notes I wrote after my third brain surgery in October 2021.

Here’s a note I wrote to myself before my fourth surgery.

What I learned last time, to remember for next time: a list (to my future self)

• If it’s too hard to use your right hand, use your left.

• If it feels really hard today, you are making progress for tomorrow (it gets better and you get stronger).

• Take naps.

• Don’t be sad at what you lost, because you are rebuilding, always becoming something greater than before.

• Because of your “deficits” you can see things others cannot, and that makes you really cool.

• You are at your most creative when walking, with your kind open.
