Less hostile toward people who intrude on my space.
For a whole period, I bit their heads off.
"Quirky" as this seems, there was a rationality to it.
It was important not to become distracted, while keeping one eye open.
The stress level falls as her recovery deepens.
Doesn't seem as necessary to keep that one eye open at every moment.
So that I have actually volunteered, recently,
to help old ladies move furniture out of their way,
breaking one-eye-contact for whole minutes at a time,
regaining it later, with no ill-effect.
