Life is back to some semblance of normal for the most part. I still have pain when my house lights are on all the time. I prefer lamp lighting–it is far, far less intrusive and, surprisingly, gives me enough illumination to locate things I need in my own environment.
Interestingly, I am not having the pain problem in public spaces so much. I don’t know if that has to do with types of lighting, and I’m too busy working on living to bother to analyze it. Last week I had a guest for the week, and we went out several times during the week. It was a good test for my stamina. In a couple of weeks I will be traveling to the San Francisco area to visit friends and present a paper at the annual conference of the Society of Biblical Literature. I will probably sleep for a week after I get home. I hope I can wake up enough to have a piece of pie at Thanksgiving.
I wrote in my last note about Prednisone and headaches… I am still having frequent headaches. I have restarted chiropractic treatment and will see if it helps. Today he did something called a suboccipital release. I came home and slept for several hours and am now headache-free for the first time in three days.
