It is raining. Non stop. And windy. Totally tedious weather. So, here I am, in the kitchen basically wandering about. And wondering. A lot.
For what I was, what I now am, where I am going. Too many things battering about in my head. Worrying about silly things - spelling / confusion with words / rereading 🙄 etc.
Blogging. Hilarious, considering how long it has taken me to be able to do this. Again. And [genius!] no one needs to read this. No one. Unless they want to. Last time, with cancer, I was more logical - I.e.: if you don’t wish to know, leave.
And I knew I was going to get better. And move on. With my #newlifestyle? It is going to be with me always. Forever. #ffs
In the meantime, trying to find a way of putting ALL my #stuff in a more logical format. A sort of formal way of thinking would be really useful. 🧠🦸🏼♀️
For anyone who has the after effects of a brain injury, and has aphasia as ONE of the after effects, and you have no one to listen to your questions [when you ask it 55 times and still can’t comprehend it? They sort of run away] -
Impressive. 👍🏻🫵🏻🙏🏼
After 8 years it is still there for me - an email that appeared every couple dof months but I could not read them for a long time. Because I went on there coping with ovarian cancer, I am still part of some of the forums. But not with Headway.
That was in 2008. I met many other women who were looking for chats and help. And I still talk to those wonderful people whom I met through HealthUnlocked
We all had blogs, no matter our age, our background or anything other than the fact that we wanted to help one another to survive.
Coping with cancer when you can chat on a forum is very useful. And it’s easy to be informed by double checking any research that is passed around.
Trying to chat / check / ask for help and understand after a brain injury? Very, very hard. And that is exactly what I mean when I say I am re-learning. How to comprehend. How to understand. How to assess and reappraise. How to remain calm instead of allowing my brain to crush my mind.
And sending the message to all; a brain injury NEVER goes away.
Aphasia never goes away.
Determination is the best, as even now, after 8 years, I am still moving forward. Finding humans that try to understand how extremely difficult it is to change you entire life - and how it takes so long.
And how many simply walk away.
This chuckalious #blog of mine - it is speaking for all who cannot speak. And allow others to try to learn.
