I made it! Summer vacation is here!
Another school year down the tubes. The difference this year was that I missed a large chunk of spring semester. I told the doctor that I wanted to go back for the last couple of weeks of school, and she let me, but with reservations. It was hard at first, but I made it! And now I have about two and a half months to get healthy.
Every little step was like a milestone. I even started to drive short distances this past week. 
Being dependent on others was the hardest part of it all. I'm so grateful to be getting back to "normal".
and 
to all on this most wonderful first day of summer break!
NEOMA... if you see this.... how are you doing now?
