Humans Are Amazing Beans

Human adaptability is really amazing. Sure, there are some growing pains during transitions, but steady suckage becomes tolerable somehow.

I've learned to avoid heat. No baths. Showers not too hot. Don't put on a sweater as soon as you feel chilly. Say something IMMEDIATELY when it gets warm at work.

I somehow don't mind too much that I have pins and needles, numbness, etc. in various body parts. I only feel anxious when it spreads to new areas. But then I get used to that.

Memory and language problems do get me down. I guess I value my mind over my body. My intellect figures significantly into my self-concept. But they're not as upsetting as they were.

One thing that's hard to remember is to ration my energy beginning in the morning. Once I'm already feeling tired, it's easy to remember, but I need to improve at heading off the crushing fatigue of the afternoon.
