Dizzy and Stuff

So I realize that this concussion is a bit more serious then I thought. I was hoping to be back working after 3 months, but that might not happen. It could be 6 or more months. I get dizzy after walking and going up and down stairs, and elevators; not every time. I hopefully will get to start doing some rehab in January or February. I sometimes will just be walking then I have to stop or I will fall over because I will fall over if I don't stop. This dizziness has given a more realization of what I am about to go through, but I know I am good to go :)

  I had also just finish a meeting today with a doctor, and I apparently have a indent in the back of my head now. They said they could fix it with surgery, but they also said that it helps me in no way health wise, nor is it more vulnerable. So I said no to the fix. The indent is hidden in my hair anyways so we are all good. He told me it will be just time for healing my dizziness.

 With all this crazy stuff happening in our world and with me, I don't think I have ever been closer with my whole family. Not just my parents, but my uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandparents. Not in person of course, except, my parents. I have just been talking with them more than I ever have after this accident.

  I won't lie I am a little worried if I can get my job back; even if I take 7 months or more off, but oddly enough I don't feel stressed about it. I know who I am and what Kung fu and the I Ho Chaun  has helped me accomplish. It helped me develop into a person who will strive for being the best current me, learn from every one and myself, learning it's okay to have hardship, because it what has made me grow and become a better person. It has also taught me I am never truly alone. I am surround by the best people ever. I do have all of you to thank for that. 

I have to end here getting a headache and dizzy, not just because its long. Have a Wonderful time every one.

Gratitude

 Hello it has been awhile, but gladly not my last. I went through a fairly serious accident last month. I learned that I had a fairly big hole in the top of my head, a concussion, and multiple fractures on my right side of my face. I last remember driving to work then waking up in the hospital. I was told I was unconscious for 3 days. 

  I have only recently learned as well from the police that I have somehow had a really good accident. They did not say those words, but I gathered that info from the info they said to me. Most of the passenger side had the most damage, the car crumpled properly to reduce the impact, and my seat belt and air bags did there jobs, and no fire. I hit a full tanker truck so good no fire. They made it sound like to me this accident could have been so much worse, but it was not. I of course still suffer injury's, but they are not the worst type. 

 I got to truly learn how grateful I am that I am here today, and the people I am surrounded with. I got lots of support from lot of friends and family, and I now believe to be so lucky with the fact I got amazing people that support me. I have found a new found appreciation for my parents and my friends. It kinda feels weird, but I feel super happy right now. I am still in pain, but I am looking very hopeful for my future. 

I am truly grateful for my time in kung fu. I was lucky enough to learn how to spot the extraordinary, and how to adapt and overcome, and especially never giving up. I look forward to what new things for me to learn in kung fu, but for now I will take step one: heal. This is the start of something really exciting for me. I know I will get better, and I will eventually adapt to my new reality. I know I will never be the same, but that is the fun of it. This is how I learn.

 I really want to thank all of you for your support, and I truly am very happy when I see or hear you all. This blog took me a long time to write, I have been trying to write this since 11:00 am, I had to take a lot of breaks in writing this. Even this give me a headache, but easily make me truly appreciate how great blogging is and I can't wait to do more.
