Abbilee,

I know that sometimes doing the most basic of things( laundry, eating, baths etc) can be very difficult. I have had a hard time eating during my head injury and it can be difficult to take a shower and put on pants instead of sweats at times but it seems when I do it is like taking charge and telling life I am still the boss of some things in life.

Don't let the docs take your joy and keep looking if you can to find someone you can relate to, don't know if you are in a big enough area for that option.

I thnk it is important to acknowledge the small gains and victories as well...anything you can do to remind yourself you are not down for the count starts to add up.

I hope this does not sound like a rah rah post but it does seem to help me and I know it isn't easy to look for the positive as the negative is so much louder since my head was whacked but it is there.

Bud
