Six month report?

It's been what, six months? Two weeks? My sense of time and proportions have almost entirely disappeared but here's a bit of summary of how I'm doing lately. I'm doing fine, sort of. Apart from the fact that my body developed a taste for self.destruction, I'm doing great. I moved to a much better apartment (ground floor, no stairs), and that's great. I'm trying to increase the amount of work I can take on and spending three days a week at the office. That part of recovery is one of those areas where I set impossibly high goals for myself and won't be happy with anything short of coming back to "normal" but I can value progress anyway and there is some of that. At least I think there is.

The move to the apartment came just after the holidays and the end of my previous agreements on therapy and training but I'm renewing that now and will be back in the gym soon. The lapse in workouts doesn't bother me in the least, I'm certain I'm getting enough exercise. Gonna try some water exercise in the upcoming months, see if I can find some of the movements I lost.

I have a bunch of doctor's appoinments, some days the stack of mail is just preposterous and it's all medical stuff. Still I think at this point I've more or less exhausted the available options. Depending on what's gonna happen in the next months I might be switching modification meds but that's no big deal, really. Be nice to get one that one goes in to get once a month instead of self-administration. It's gotten to the point where it's such a non-issue that I tend to forget to take my meds.

Attention span and concentration are probably my biggest problem right now. Fatigue makes them worse and it's sort of a showstopper for me. Losing count of how many meds I've tried for dealing with that and I'm well into stuff I'd never have wanted to try a year ago. But I need to handle this somehow, I'm not happy with the current state.

My tingly fingers stopped tingling when I use touch-screens. Kinda sad about that, but it does make using the phone and tablet slightly less uncomfortable.

All other stuff, I can't think of anything else to say than, it's going fine.
