One of those astounding memories that reappear on Facebook every year - the beginning of a new life 9 years back. At the time, it was not for me really - but for the FH. For my family. For my friends. My backup. Then.
At the moment, during #AphasiaAwarenessMonth, people are beginning to comprehend that a #braininjury is not an ordinary #stroke 🧠🗣️
At last 😤😂
I am getting better when I am not told that I am 'too slow' - 'two many curse words'...and definitely far too much honesty. Stand at the back #sandhy 😭😶
And no. The *after effects* of surviving a subarachnoid haemorrhage, which only INCLUDES #aphasia - does not go away.
Onward and upward - we do try not to be a bore; we have to relearn our lives.
For me? Yet again. I always thought that getting better after ovarian was so hard. And it was - but I recovered with 2 years. I was on my feet by 5 years. Then? A new and interesting brain injury - and I am STILL trying to get back there. Hence rage. And having horrid speaking - and no, it's not who I was before.
So, working with the #tribe - and working together. Helping one another. And trying to stop talking bullshit - trying to be honest. #reading #writing #comprehension
Things we battle with every single day. Forever.
It’s not #amazing 🙄 - BUT we are battlers; incredible Humans…🐱👤🧠
Stand back and bow 🙏🏼✊🏻 - but only those who try to understand the after effects of a brain injury.
And hey! I am no longer 'too slow'
