i like that - one week at a time. i suppose even after the car accident there has been some improvement so i should attempt to focus on that.

the comparison with sight loss is precisely what is troubling me: if my injury is truly that debilitating and the prognosis is the same as that of someone who lost their sight (which is permanent) then i need to radically alter my ambitions and expectations. when should i stop thinking that things will improve and attempt to create a new life for myself? how long should i be recovering? those two paths seem to be pretty different.
