Laugh newbie, kind of happy

I feel a bit bad after reading all the struggles everyone's going through...
Since my accident, despite all the symptoms, I feel really grateful because i instinctively knew; it could have been so much worse...

Not that I am minimising, It's been 3 weeks since i was rear-ended, innocuously enough, (or I thought.....)

I feel I am getting better, but my voice has changed and i sound a bit drunk; slurred most of the time, whoch i don't like...(could be worse)

My spelling/typing is filled with mistakes and consequently takes much longer. I'll leave them today so you can see. (could be worse spell check)

I have regained the ability to lift my knees from lying down and can now do a bicep curl. I forgot a week afer the accident.

My personality change is a more pleasnt, more passive laughing version of myself. In stage 3 (there are 4 altogether) I sound/act and talk like a 6 year old.
I'm me, but i feel like i'm me at 6. my demeanour, speech everything changes... It's challenging for my kids... I try very hard not to swear. In some ways i feel like a more innocent, purer, nicer version of myself. i seem to be less preoccupied with myself and more concened with the well-being of my family.
to some extent i feel like i am losing myself, because I was much more confident before....(could be worse, my family Llike my other personality)

My ex is a LOT more helpful thanever before, when i sound like a little kid, people talk to me as though i were one. They are very patronizing, but they don't mean it, they're just reacting...The doctor even made a sexual innuendo about which he repeated twice to his colleague, right in front of me because he was assuming that because i sounded like a child, I thought like one....

It's all weird, but again, i am grateful it's not worse...
thanks for listening..

Also, ADHD on Ritalin for the last cuple years

I am sorry about everyone's troubles here... Mine feel small by comparison...
