Concussion Update + Answer to Your Question
Added 2024-02-26 03:27:38 +0000 UTC
Hey patrons!
I got this question on a recent video post and wanted to share the answer in video form because typing REALLLLY hurts my head at the moment and screen time is a major trigger so filming is actually easier (aside from some general headache/train of thought stuff going on).
I hope you find value in this video and stay tuned for the end of the month when our Q&A video will be coming out with both Dave and myself. I am hoping in March I will be feeling better enough to go back to doing live chats but at this point in time, staring at a screen is not in the cards for me.
Huge shoutout to my entire team here at BirdTricks, my family's incredible patience dealing with me and all my editors who are working so tirelessly to keep content going out while I struggle not helping while healing... I appreciate each and every one of you, it takes a village. And for all of you patrons who choose to still stay here and remind me it's okay to rest. Your words have been giving me strength and purpose. I can't wait to be back to normal, whenever that will be.
Please don't be "normal"..I like you weird. 🥰🤭🤩

I want to move somewhere warmer too. I don’t even know where to begin though 🤣.

Thank-you so much for answering my questions especially when feeling so unwell! Hope your symptoms settle soon. I can see I need to rewatch your training videos. They have been so helpful. I don’t know what I would have done without them. xxx

Hahaha thanks for the offer lol... soooo thoughtful ;) he would def end up being Dave's project! I don't think I make enough sense right now to educate like that in videos. I'd be like "ummm, so there's that. any questions?" lol.

Yes! I've been listening to a lot of audios lately. I've been practicing daily meditation and affirmations and listening to a lot of mindfulness podcasts...

You could try filling your time with "light" audio books while you're waiting for spring to show up. Hopefully listening instead of reading doesn't trigger headaches...
I teared up a bit when I saw Jinx preening Ava on the couch 💙💛💙 This is great. Really happy for both you and Jinx!

I'm in the same boat currently. Rest as much as possible, and take it easy on yourself. I sure hope you heal soon, and be good to yourself. Prayers for you. <3

It means sit back relax and just spend all the cuddle time you can with Capri. You have a team and us that are here. We would rather wait for content then you not do what you need to or worst. Feel better let us know how the ct turns out

Appreciate the update and love the advice in this video. But it was pretty clear you were struggling.
I hope you’l do your best to rest more. We aren’t going anywhere, we support you entirely. And more importantly you have an amazing team supporting you. :)
If there is anything we can do to support you through this, I hope you’ll let us know!
If you need a project to keep you busy and off the screens, I could always send you a certain sulfur crested ‘too. ;) Bet you could have him in great shape by April.
In all seriousness, though, I’d be going absolutely crazy in your position. If you need anything at all, we’ve got you.

Your brain needs rest right now. I know it's hard to check out and take time for yourself but that is what your body needs. You have worked so hard to build a great team at BT. Take advantage of their awesomeness. They have it under control. Sometimes when we have setbacks in life that force us to take a breather it can be cathartic. Use this down time to prioritize self care. You earned it. I hope you feel better soon.
It was so heart warning to see Jinx and Zip preening and being buddies. 💙

Yea I've had something similar for about four years now - long covid I guess. In my house we call it my Brain Frog. I hope your Brain Frog clears up soon. It was great to see the preening! Totally unexpected.

Red light therapy helps me when the weather is gloomy. Rest and take care of yourself! Thank you for all you teach us about caring for our little friends.
