She's doing okay, and the physical and occupational therapists are very happy that she's able to bend over and pick something up off the floor. Her hair is growing back; it's probably a quarter inch long now. She's still on pain pills (opiates) and is very careful about THAT. Last weekend was pretty miserable as a strong weather front came through and she was in considerable pain -- apparently a recent craniotomy can be affected by strong changes in barometric pressure. She's still having problems reading and listening to NPR, but reading time is slooooooooowly getting longer and longer. I have the OT's permission to massage her ears. Really.
