Dear Mark in Idaho - I was a little overwhelmed by your response but a special thank you for your direct and kind words. I was upset after reading it because I just did not want to believe it or accept it.

I was in a brain injury support group today for a meeting and one of the members was a Neuropsychologist. She said in a very direct way that I needed to say goodbye to the old me and welcome the new one and move forward. I know I needed to hear those words again because I will try and push through any problem.

Just by chance I had a doctors appointment and he had some sobering information as well. I have the message although I still don't like it 😀
My brain was overwhelmed and I hope to avoid this again. Im already looking forward to the changes

Thank you!

I cant imagine any of of like this?.....This road is a hard one we need to learn to know what is our Kryptonite!

Its been close to 15 years for me, I miss work, miss my crew, miss my family, I miss it all!......For all that there is nothing I can do!

What I can do, and continue to do is....Take care of myself, know what to keep away from.....The hardest thing for me was" acceptance ".....

When I finally accepted everything that happened, the good and bad the ugly.
Is when I learned to enjoy the little things....Embrace a smile or laugh...

Susie1,

You have a task to do. Accepting your limits is just the start. Learning how to move forward within those limits is quite another. You can't start the second until you have done the first.

The support group should offer you good opportunities to see how others accepted the new person and moved on.

I am trying to get a private time with our pastor at church. Due to pre-existing neurological and autoimmune health conditions, Covid hit him hard with encephalitis. It is just like a serious concussion. Lights, sounds, memory, the works. He is getting no help to understand how to move forward.

It is very difficult to do this alone. We need others to get on board with us. Take family or friends to support group if you can. They need to hear these same comments and see others with similar limitations.

My best to you.

DavOD. Sounds like you've walked the hard road and are on the path of least Resistance your your health and well being. Sad about your family but I Hope you have some joy with some of them.

I think fatigue is my kryptonite and knowing what casues that and showing it respect is something I need to observe. Hard sometimes because I always want to " get things done" and have pushed thru so much in the past.

Today I Walked away from a job that I foolishly volunteered for and then hired someone else to do it! Felt good walking away and delegating. A victory! Feel much better tonight

Acceptance....thats something thst sounds so easy but it's more than a word. I can do this too...

Thank You and best wishes

Susie
