Hi, Theta here.
I've enjoyed recently reaching out here more, and more actively participating here on NT, posting, joining in discussion and sharing of experience and info, lending a listening ear and support where I may. However I've been notified of the sudden death of my friend and neighbor, while she was traveling out of state to 'rescue' dear, lovely young granddaughters from likely being placed into foster-care.  So, I just wanted to let y'all know that Theta is still here, in mutual support and encouragement, though I may be clicking the "Thanks" post more often than actively posting. Gotta use my daily quota of brain-energy-capacity where it is needed most,  and for right now, that's right here in my own neighborhood.Best regards to all, Theta

Theta,
That was bad it happened. I live in city and I don't even know my neighbors even if I make good efforts to connect but they want their loneliness and privacy. You have a good heart and compassion which is what your neighbor needs now. See you later. Cheers!

Thinking of you. So sorry you are going through this experience. May you find some peace and a way to cope. Resting will definitely help. Much love to you.

I am a 36 yr old female who has played football, as a hobby, for 13 yrs. In July 2012, during a game I was slammed to the floor by two angry guys who hit into me so hard that one of them broke their ribs. This knocked me back onto hard ground leaving me unconscious. I awoke to chronic head and neck pain, sickness and the inability to see or balance. The paramedics made me walk to the ambulance, instead of placing me on a spinal board, where I was taken to the ER. I was hospitalised with suspected brain hemorrhage for 1 week, then on complete bed rest for 1 month, in a wheelchair for 2 months. I have been left with PCS, moderate constant head pain, little short term memory, no memory of the accident, balance and sight problems, depression and exhaustion. The worst problem is collapsing regularly. This has finally been diagnosed as Hemiplegic Migraines , these cause my brain to regularly shut down when I am tired and I then feel the full effects of a stroke (without the bleed on the brain!!) of which the symptoms last 2-4 days. I have had 6 CT's, 2 MRI's and am under 3 specialists. I believe everyday is one more towards improvement. Mainly I believe in the power of acceptance not the weakness of complacency or resignation. |
