Apparently in that group I am the only one with a grief issue.
I don’t get how people just count their blessings and feel better.
I don’t throw fits nor am I doom and gloom.
I won’t deny I am a bad copy of a bad copy of my former self. I accept it happened. I will not accept this injury. Since we moved I have so many more therapy options.
So many things I hadn’t even heard existed. I have hope if improvement because I will neur rehab 3 times a week.
This life is not what I thought I was making.

Thank you for your kind words. I wish there was a memoir year long collaboration. I signed up for one… Before and didn’t get to go. It had five week long retreats in some mountains.
My story and our stories are told in books by others. I do know some write a book, but it is always way too upbeat OR they focus on how the hard work is what returned them.
A raw and open to hearing and telling about the journey would have been helpful to me and still would.
So thank you. Grieving the life I spent building and the professional life and educational level and the respect of others in my field is gone.
I don’t like this life. I am taking control more which is shocking to others.
This is a subject I haven’t been able to process so it morphs and changed. It it incredibly irritating to be dismissed as just not being that bad. Everyone forgets things. Everyone has a hard time naming things. Everyone has issues with math.
They say those for themselves.
