Physically, she worked herself hard. The information she'd obtained from Bar suggested that her brain would perhaps need to relearn certain activities, or "reassign" them, but that it wasn't at all impossible. She made herself go through simple exercises, walking, using her hands to pick up things, then to manipulate them, the first several days. Stacking things. Tying knots. Small puzzles made of metal or plastic that required eye and hand coordination.
Once she felt she could go outside, she ran. Never mind if she fell. She got back up. That wasn't so bad as the other concerns, anyway.
Her right eye, when she closed it, was barely missed. If anything, she thought her vision was a little better not being hampered by that. Her right side was slightly weaker, she realized early on, and made herself concentrate on that.
The kata were repetitive enough to be not too hard for her, so were basic aerobic and sparring exercises. This might not be a standard rehab
regimen, but then, X-Men were past masters at making it up as they went along.
She spent perhaps four-five hours at it every day, without fail. It's what she would've been doing at the Institute.
Then, afternoons, after meditation, (and usually shower, say thanks), she'd eat and work at 'book studies'--or computerized ones. She finally caved on
'nonessential items' to ask Bar for a laptop. Math, reading, and after her conversations with Quinn and some others, she added books on emergency care and a few other practical subjects for a low tech environment.
Whether or not she needed that knowledge here, she was of the opinion that no learning was a waste.
Mentally, she'd noticed problems with short term memory, and with analyzing
problems that required language comprehension and visual cues. The memory effects should pass, with time. A couple of Bar patrons noticed her studies and recommended books for her to read, or evaluation tests, that'd let her gauge her progress. Shakespeare was avoided out of a desire to not walk straight into frustration. Sooraya had no problem with Arabic, but archaic English hadn't been fun for her even before the surgery. Just now, she was concentrating on 21st century materials.
