I am doing better now, thank you for asking. Main challenges are some relatively minor residual eyesight issues due to a damaged optical nerve from sedation; sleep is erratic; and stress is more difficult to manage at times.

But as time goes on, the more I find ways to adapt, and that in turn seems to lessen the impact of changes, and even leads to improvements. One example is short term memory problems that seem common with PICS, such as forgetting a word during conversation, or immediately forgetting something we just planned to do a few seconds earlier. Lately I've made more of an effort to retrain my memory skills by memorizing dates, directions, names, etc without relying on written notes. That is helping, I also picked up a new hobby that I really enjoy, and that has helped with focus and regaining a positive rather than fearful outlook.
