I drove today!
Don't tell anyone! :) I drove back and forth to the gym. I swam at the gym for the first time since the accident. So today was a day of firsts. :)
After waking from a coma and learning how to be a normal person again, our hero tries to find his path through life. Really, I'm not making this up. :) Well, except for the hero part. :)
I'm just this guy, y'know?

It's probably no surprise but I'm still waiting for word on this... :( Oh, La is at a job interview right now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her... unfortunately the job is downtown but we'll see how it goes. :)
I talked to the therapist about the driving evaluation yesterday. It's still not scheduled because they haven't received the doctor's order, but it will be very soon now. I also found out my driver's license is NOT suspended. So that was good. I still won't drive until the eval though.
... my eyesight has improved measurably since my last visit to the opthamologist, and he confirmed that my double vision is indeed gone... my next appointment will be in a year. I hope I continue to see some improvement. I'm not quite there yet. Got another referral for a driving evaluation. I'm pretty sure my license isn't actually suspended since I still have it, and I never received any notice from the DMV, but I won't drive until I have the evaluation. No point in tempting fate. :)
... but I am doing stuff, I swear. Things have just gotten a little weird and hectic all of a sudden. My sleep requirements have really been eating into my time to do things, also.
Amazing that's it only a few days into November, and already I've failed to keep up with my novel-writing commitment. So sad. Well there's still a chance I can do a couple of marathon sessions to power through my backlog and catch up. I will try. I suppose the most important thing is to not put this down and find the little bit of it I've done in a couple of years. :)
Today I had an appointment with my neurologist... he tells me that he only needs to see me once a year for follow-ups now... so I guess I am getting close to being "better". The vision thing is still up in the air but the doc is referring me to get a driving evaluation, so hopefully I'll be driving again soon. I'm sure I can at least handle my daily commute.
