what you do defines you...

The word “week” is a very interesting word…

This #week - • drawing birthday cards

• creating ceramic style clay articles • chatting madly to a pc fellow called #dave to buy a new #pc #aphasiasucks #comprehension

• massive rage with the local doctors letter [ok if you can read comprehensively] telling me I will be checked for a #mini stroke? #fucksakes

• BUT a wonderful girl in the reception helped me feel a million times better. Booked an appointment with a #daktari that actually reads what actually happens to others. Hoorah

Love that receptionist at Claremont Medical Practice

• another brilliant chat - this time with first direct to be able to ACTUALLY use it again… amazing • thank the lord for the FH

• And: creating a 2nd head for my #smallhuman family - another art #prototype

• waiting for the snow, hail, hideous cold to bugger off in order to collect my first prototype + Tony’s #leopard clay animal

• waiting to see the surgeon to re-mend my broken face

So the word: “week”?

It feels like a word that said “weak” as I constantly struggle to remain focused before losing the plot with the anger of my brain. Not understanding whilst many find that I MUST be understanding.

And NO darlings, having had so many checks including the after effects of menopause, happily, it is actually created by my chuckalious broken brain…

Titanium plates

A question for people who *wish to understand about titanium plates* that we people have it smashed into our skulls whilst not understanding anything about the after effects🤔

Is my titanium mesh:

A: Alpha alloys

B: Beta alloys

or

C: Alpha+beta alloys

Trying to understand [by trying to read ho ho] the information about a piece of metal in my skull 💀 is extreme. Aphasia is still moving forward, but I still cannot understand well, as I cannot comprehend unless I have help. Help can be like sunshine in winter. Very little.

Having a chat with a doctor is not useful. Simply because I am unusual. 1 in 59 who survives with the effects of my brain bleed / subarachnoid haemorrhage / aneurism [and after 8 years, most people think I am now “fine” - I just love that 😳]. The type of stroke that I had after the craniotomy was minuscule compared to the bleed.

So. The pain in my head during extreme cold appears to be quite extreme. Therefore I am trying to work out the best thing to do. Wearing a woolly hat maybe the only answer but to recall putting that one my head each time? 🧠

Send me a postcard if you have any input about extremities after a Craniotomy in the titanium plate. When the weather is freezing 🥶 

See info that I cannot understand 100%

Tenacity…
