It's not easy. It's our bodies and minds and we want it to feel as close to perfect as possible.

We have to be stronger than the average person because of the symptoms we have.

You can still have hope that they will get better over time. Temper that by dealing as well as you can with them right now.

We're not unusual or odd. I remember a Sopranos episode where Tony was mad because his friend was paying attention to his cancer symptoms instead of listening to Tony.

Every time I forget something I have a heart attack that I'm on the way to dementia...it gets tiring and counter productive to healing.

Let's be informed about our injury and what we can do to feel better, but also make sure we get distracted as much as we can during the day.
