This was the biggie...Because I didn't have bandages (for long), a cast, a wheelchair or walker, people don't realize that there is anything wrong. You can't see that my neurons and brain cells are wondering around like zombies. If you don't know me you don't realize that I don't sound like this all the time. I'm usually very quick witted, I can pronounce the words I use, I'm not tired at 3:00 in the afternoon.

I think that people just don't understand because they can't see what hurts. Maybe that is a little oversimplified, but it made me feel a little better...but I still have hurt feelings.
