Back in the saddle

I spent two hours in the office Friday. First time there in three months! Felt strange. Didn't really get anything done in just two hours but did confirm I can do the commute and walk from the parking garage to the office and then the reverse when it's time to go.

The doctor is giving me very limited return to work. It was disappointing but after being there, and suffering a headache from the event, I'm thinking the doctor's approach is right. Imagine that!

Anyway I'm allowed two hours each day the first week, three hours per day the second week and so on until I'm back to a full time schedule. Also have been restricted from business travel until after I've been back seven weeks. As I said, a restricted schedule but seems to be the right thing.

I'm expecting the headache will stop happening on trips to the office shortly. That would mirror my other recovery experiences. Every new effort has been met by some headaches or other discomfort. As long as I persisted and kept at it the discomfort dissipated after just a few iterations of the new activity.

Received more opinions on the bumps on my temple. Spoke with an ENT and a neurologist. Both of them surmised they are aneurysms in a blood vessel that developed as a result of the crash. The neurologist scheduled follow up MRI and MRA to inspect and confirm. Then I go see a neurosurgeon with the result of those tests for confirmation of the diagnosis and determination what, if any, corrective action to take.
