Differently Abled (fly your freak flag high) - Page 10

AtLast · 09-26-2010, 05:27 PM

Just doing a lot of thinking about the fact that it is time for me to look at alternative geographic locations in terms of disability. Who needs to be more cloudy on medication when a change would most likely mean less disability to medicate?

Funny, how it feels entirely different when these kinds of thoughts change from just thoughts that "might" lead to an action and starting to take action even if just preliminary planning of what has to happen to move onto another stage in life.

I feel like I do pretty well overall, but I am a lot more willing to make changes to regain some of what I have lost. I realize, I do have choices that can make a difference even if they are difficult. This is really starting to feel freeing! KEWL!!!

I can't believe I didn't find this thread sooooo way earlier!
I'm gonna raise my Flag. Let's see, I think it is now 7 or perhaps 8 yrs since my motorcycle accident. To which I don't remember, but was told how bad it really was. I was hit from the side by a semi, thrown a long distance and impaled by a tree branch through my skull. If not for a passer by driver, I most likely would have died.

I had went through rehab to learn to talk, walk, eat and all the other good things that come with rehab. I have lost much of my memory, sometimes I am lucky and one appears, but then I can't make a distinction of if it's mine or a movie. Either way, I have come to some grips and understanding, not taking it so hard as I use to. Being mean to my own self. Then taking it out on others.

Within the last 2 years I have been having seizures, doctor told me years ago that I would more than likely die from a blood clot loosening from my brain and heading towards my heart. I have been on all kinds of seizure medications, as well as alway taking the trial meds to see if they work. Sometimes work, sometimes it doubles the suizures. Right at this moment, I am on meds again to help reduce the blood clots in my brain. My most hated moments are the carrying a conversation then stopping in mid sentance and just staring. Pisses me off all the time. But my co-workers always cover for me. Oh well, before I bore you all, I will close with this thought....... We are better people that actually see our world in a new and different way.

Clotting away, Blaze
