That was super informative, nobody's ever told me that. Thanks Selenay!

Also, I don't know if you've read this but perhaps >this< will help, as well.

I am SO happy that I just saw this in another thread - the BFP monthy report...

I was JUST getting ready to STEP back in here and "apologize" for the very strange intrusion into this thread - on "my username behalf".

Although, my space was shot here right then... I felt HORRIBLE that the rest of you shut down, and if anyone NEW here were possibly stopped in their tracks as well - at this time from any posting.

PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!??? Continue on!!!!!?????



I will rejoin when I feel comfortable. K?

Love and hugs to all,
WILDCAT

Wildcat, you didn't shut the thread down *puzzled look* I dunno why you would think that. Adele answered you in post #38 and I answered a couple posts later, and then the convo continued until we came to a natural stopping place.

Adele, congrats on being our Ambassador!

Yesterday I came SMACK up against my limits again. I walked to the bank and then from there to the grocery store... and by the time I got to the store I was sick as a dog from the pain. *sigh* I recovered kinda slowly (at one point I just had to lean on the grocery cart and wait to get my breath back), and was feeling much better by the time I got to the cash register--looked up and saw the sign advertising for a customer service clerk.

I actually considered it for a couple seconds.... and then I realized that if I couldn't even walk half a mile without getting sick from the pain, I could never work on my feet for even two hours, let alone eight.

This is what I hate about being disabled, that even when I feel relatively better, I must ALWAYS allow for the pain.

DECEMBER 3rd:

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

I hope EVERYONE has a beautiful day!!!!!!

Lots of love and peace to ALL!

Darling Jude. You did not shut down this thread or lose your space.

We are here for you and love you just the way you are. Please come back immediately with one of your fabulous posts. Don't let your brain injury get the better of you, m'kay?

I got the flu and have not been able to post coherent thoughts. That is all.

xoxo

Awee, sorry you were not feeling well.

No "darling Adele", I didn't shut anything down here. However, I wanted to be considerate, just in case and acknowledge that I know this space is vulnerable for some - as it is very much so for me.

Yes, my "space" was abruptly (not drastically)... "altered". (That sound more pleasing to you?) And now by some of my choice. This is WAY too much attention drawn to me - especially on a new site.


Feeling painfully "shy" right now. I know there are people though who will read this very sentence alone, and will really "see" it - in very special regards. That is something I love with the writing here in our community! Some wonderful hearts and souls.

On topic:

Thanks for posting these helpful and informative video's, New Ambassie!

The brain and it's functions are truly amazing, fascinating... and recovering from brain injury is so uniquely different and strange, difficult - all experiences we understand with each other. That is nice.

I had one side of my brain shut right down for awhile and the other side really "opened" up. That was a very interesting time. (And a long time ago!) I was so left brain for so long, and then went so quickly into right brain! Now, I look back and see it as a wonderful journey that I was fortunate to experience.

I did re-injure (test?) myself winter before last here. My car was totalled. I went by that spot last week one night, and my gut twisted up a bit - and sure as heck... there was car head down in this deep culvert, right where I had ended up during a snow storm. Holy shit, did that set off some "stuff". Wooo-hoooo!! Amazing, our emotions, and psychological selves and all!!



(Using only slow emoticons for you! Tried not to use any, but my compulsive nature took over, sorry... )

Anyway, another area of discussion though, for sure. (Well, the right/left brain... more of a spiritual plane thing to me.)

I hope everyone had a great week, DAY and has a wonderful weekend.

I hope I play some music, on my drums or some instrument here! I've really been struggling and struggling with that for a long time now, (getting back to "creating").

Tonight, I don't feel too hot/great though. So, I will close now.

HUGS -
