The past 2-3 days have been amazing. I've not had 1 headache!
I have been feeling great and acting pretty close to normal, I believe.
Yesterday, I visited some friends for a little bit.
The sound of Rock Band bothered my ears, but not my head.
Same goes for the movie A-Team (which is really good, I recommend it).
Today, I relaxed with my best friend and my head was feeling about normal.
Sadly, there is something that I have noticed to be a problem.
I have been having trouble with memory. I can't remember what I have told people all of the time. I have been repeating stories a lot. I believe that it's more than I would be repeating if I hadn't gotten a concussion (I've always been a little ditsy).
So right now, that is something that I will monitor more closely.
Still excited for Comic-Con & Disneyland! Ahh! :)
And also excited for my next appointment with the neurologist haha
Seriously though, I am very happy to be making progress and functioning almost normally.
Time for something fun, yes? Yes.

You're ONLY going to break my heart? No thanks.
Today was a good day for me and my brain. My brain and I..
Cheered on my little brothers at their last field hockey game at the Olympic Training Center. They won again, no surprise. The other team basically just didn't have what it takes.
During the game, I was really nervous and I couldn't calm myself. That has never happened before. It may be a side effect, maybe not. I may have just been so into them winning the game that I was freaking myself out?
On a side note, I love seeing old friends and catching up. Even if it is only for a couple minutes.
For the car ride home, I did get a little uneasy from parts of the older road. Nothing that I couldn't handle though.
Upcoming events I am crazy excited about:
Baking cookies with my best friend!
My best friend's birthday!
Going to Comic-Con!
Going to Disneyland!
Yay! haha
I realize that my first post was not the most optimistic and probably a huge downer. That's not me at all right now. I am sad a lot, but most of the time I am happy about getting better each day and looking forward to my events!
I am in a good mood. Also, I ate a candy bar. That probably explains it. I knitted a hat. I'm wearing it now. I love it.
If Lady Gaga just stopped making music and was no longer on the radio, that would make me very happy. But only if she keeps making songs like Alejandro. I can live with everything else except that. Same goes for Katy Perry. Another California Gurls song and I think she will lose a fan.
I may as well end on a not so negative note. Word of the day? Sure!

Yes, yes it is late.
It all depends on how you look at it, though.
I'm copying friends of mine who started blogging. I figure I will try this.
Although, I do prefer handwriting in a journal.
This is going to start out as something to track my recovery from a concussion I received Memorial Day weekend. If I like it, I may keep it.
It is only right, and I think fair, if I share my story. Here goes:
In high school, I played 4 years of a sport called Field Hockey. I was addicted. Played all the time. When I joined the club team as well, we went to many tournaments.
After my first year of college away from home, I decided to play in a tournament again. I think I missed playing.
Anyway, in one of the last games I ended up on the ground with a male from the other team on top of me after we both went for the ball. I hit the back left side of my head on the ground and I have not been the same since.
Getting hurt while playing a game I love doesn't bother me at all.
The resulting brain functions, or should I say dysfunctions, do.
I've become very short with the people I love.
Things that never bothered me before, now I cannot stand.
I am most upset about my inactive summer vacation.
I have to take 2-3 days of recovery after a day out with friends, or just hanging out at their homes.
As of today, I am better off than the Tuesday after Memorial Day, the night I went to the ER with a skull splitting migraine along with being unable to speak for myself.
This past Wednesday, I had an MRI. I have high hopes for receiving positive feedback from my doctor soon.
I have a minor case. But I feel inadequate all of the time.
