  "description": "It's been a month since my bicycle crash. Unlike previous crashes this one  \naffected my head more than my body. While my headaches have mostly subsided I  \nstill get lightheaded and tired lot. I can do stuff around the house, but I  \nhave to move really slow. My vision has not returned to normal either. It's  \nhard to describe but I seem to have lost some peripheral sight and in general  \nhave some focus issues. Initially I thought my hearing had been affected but  \nthat turned out to be normal ear canal blockage which I was able to clean.\n\nThis is all new territory for me. I know what to do if I break a bone or  \ninjure a muscle. I never had to deal with a head injury before. While I have  \nbeen able to get some lite gardening done, I've mostly stayed off of the  \ncomputer. But now we're looking at a few days of rain so I might try and get  \nsome development work done. We'll see how that goes.\n\nMy mood has not been great. I've never been the best at dealing with  \nadversity anyhow, but this one is a bit different. This accident coupled with  \nmy advancing age may well mean a major change to my future lifestyle. I have  \nto accept that the long, remote, bicycle adventures I still dream about may  \nnot come to pass. Even my day to day riding may be at a different level. I  \ncan adjust and do what I can do. It could have been much worse. I am thankful  \nthat I can still look forward to spending time with my grandkids, family, and  \nfriends. I can still play guitar and work in my garden. Much to look forward  \nto.\n\n",
