What a story! You’ve caused me to remember Robert Heinlein’s story Waldo. You’re kind of the inverse of Waldo himself. You’re drastically changed as Waldo was, but the gift you received was the gift of relaxation.

For those who don’t know, Waldo had myasthenia gravis and could barely move, and he had a tremendous, hungry intellect and drive to invent. He had to live in orbit so he could move. Spoiler Alert!

An experimental treatment helped Waldo; (you’ll have to read the story to learn how), and his body could then keep up with his restless mind.

I hope you can find a balance between relaxing and working that suits you and helps you live a life you find rewarding. Good luck and warmest wishes.
