What is the legroom space like?

I've flown Jetstar A320 several times before and found it very cramped and in-flight entertainment was non-functional on some of the flights. You had to bring your own corded earphones.

We have ordered food for on the flight

Has anyone here flown the jetstar 787?

Im 9 months post surgery.

Not knowing what to expect, I assumed I would have mental issues but no physical problems post surgery.
I notice I'm mentally as good, if not better than before the surgery. No more brain fog etc.

I had a chance of having difficulty forming new memories, but evaded that.

What i have noticed is physical ability is by far the most impacted.

I struggle with physical stuff so much now.

I can still do my weekly runs (2-3 miles max) but lifting things or physical labour like a renovation project absolutely cripples me. Digging holes for my wife's fruit trees made my head spin and infelt exhausted after that.

I recall feeling great (about 3 months post surgery) and I tried to help lift a cupboard, instant pain in the head and dizzyness.

I have read a few accounts of people saying similar that physical strength and ability to take a knock took a long time (years) to come back.

How have you found physical recovery?

What sort of time frames did you notice you improved at?

Let me know what you think of our rough plan for May next year:

(Forgive my spelling)

HoChiMinh -1 night

Fly to Hanoi

Hanoi - 3 nights

NinhBinh - 2 nights

Overnight train to Danang

Danang - 3 nights

HoiAn - 4 nights

Fly to PhuQuock

PhuQuoc - 5 nights

Is PhuQuoc worth it?

I've read mixed reviews.

We aren’t into to drinking/nightlife/party scene and will be travelling with kids. We prefer scenic tours, activities and food.

Have you done this train ride?

We will book as a family but a little concerned about cleanliness and safety.

Stress due to big work changes, promotion into new company, busy time of year, next level difficulty work, and still recovering from brain surgery. Often (most days) I have anxiety/ knot in my stomach.

So far; my entire toolbox:

• 2x runs a week, followed by a cold shower - feel great after that for the rest of the day.
• 15-20g creatine each morning - helps depression and gives mental stamina throughout the day.
• L-Theanine in the morning - this is the most effective, removes the knot and helps me stay focused at work. Flow state initiated.
• melatonin & early bed time. Im sleeping 9 hours a night and 10 on weekends.
• Unhealthy and possibly contributes to stress, but it works, a big glass of red wine at the end of the day.
• Staying positive verbally. When someone asks "how's it going" I don't grovel and say how tough things are. I respond "im killing it" "winning every day" "im great". I 100% believe the bible saying "the tongue has the power of life and death; and those who love it will eat of it's fruit".

What else have you found particularly effective?

Why the hell in NZ caught fish so expensive?

We are surrounded by ocean, have fishing boats in prettmuch every port, but we can buy imported fish for less than locally caught.

How has your fatigue improved or been impacted over the months /years post surgery?

When did you start to feel like you had normal energy levels and not needing so much rest & down time.?

I'm 8 months out after craniotomy. I'm needing 9 hours a night most nights. On Saturday I slept 10.5hours.

I worked 10 hours today and by 6:30pm I'm ready to go to bed... I'm ok during the day, but any after work activity is just Impossible and even catching up with friends is difficult.

I feel like concentration isn't affected, only how much energy I have for things. Physical activity, especially upper body, seems to drain me pretty fast.

I run (mostly jog) 2-3x a week but can only manage about 2miles with a cold shower afterwards. that always makes me feel good.

I take 15g creatine daily and find that really helps a lot.... but not enough to feel normal.

I feel like I don't have a life because everything I have is poured into work. All i do is work & sleep.

Ive been thinking about "if you dont forgive others, I wont forgive you".

In my last job I was bullied by a superior. It happened to the point our mutual manager addressed it, and i was documenting the weird stunts he was pulling so i could take it to court. Eg: sabotaging my work, yelling at me when I had done nothing wrong. Refusing to give me permissions to access certain things i needed for my job, omitting information so it would require rework. Etc.

I recently changed jobs, and I'm now working for the client... so he's effectively working for me and we do have to work closely together.

I remember when I told him where i was going he literally sat down in defeat and in silence stared at the floor.

He effectively works for me now.

I haven't held it against him, and continue to work with him and haven't put him down in the office I now work.

I noticed today he restricted my access to a file I needed.

Immediately the feelings of distrust and how he treated me came flooding back. I dont trust him and concerned he will be undermining and sabotaging my work now even.. because ive seen him do it before.

I'm on the brink of contacting his manager (the contract manager) about access being arbitrarily restricted.

I'm concerned that as some big changes come between the two companies next year that he will end up working with us, as we will need someone with his specialised skillset and he has a good reputation in our office... because they haven't seen the real him.

I don't know what to do or how to feel.

I thought I had forgiven him. I moved on and never put him down, but feel like if I'm honest to my colleagues about his actions it will be like me getting revenge, which we are told not to seek.

Wisdom appreciated 🙏

Some of you may have seen this already.

Before my craniotomy I was looking for a breakdown of what recovery looked like and couldn't find a long-term view

So I wrote this:

I'm currently 8 months post surgery.

I hope you can please pray for me.

Stress wise im on the edge of losing it.

Not keeping up with work (43hrs) + course (10hrs) and needing help at work.

its a new job, a big step up and im getting no support.

Now the septic system at home is causing more problems ($2000 in the last 6 weeks) and the dishwasher just died today too.

My head is spinning, im not breathing properly and sleeping 9 - 9.5 hours a night from the exhaustion. Feels like I can't think or make decisions even.

I went through brain surgery late last year.. and not even that was as stressful.

I feel like i want to just burst out crying at any moment.
