Somewhat of a difficult one today. My primary physician dropped me with no apparent reason! That did not sit well at all. I am now basically starting over. I have all new Drs. that are unfamiliar with me. The same thing may very well happy again. Who knows? I am doing well with people I need walking out on me lately!!! Mainly the ex girlfriend, but why not include Dr.s too? They’re the ones that can all make a difference, of course they are gonna leave. I had to take some pain pills tonight because my head was pounding. I couldn’t take it anymore. It was filled with pain and disbelief. On a good note, I did get to say “hi” to a lot of friends that was quite positive.

About all that you have gone through, I’m pretty speechless. (How’s that for throwing all of that good grammar and sentence structure crap we learned at good ol’ AHS? Sorry, Mr. Enroe and Dr. Faries…)
Anyway.
How amazing. You must be one of the strongest people I know. I won’t go into it much because I don’t want to appear to steal any limelight, but I can appreciate some of what you’re going through. I was ejected through a car windshield thanks to a DUIer that had no insurance, and I had just been layed off from the job I had, so I can completely understand the pressure of some of the recoveries of broken bones, memory loss, relearning the “simple things” we always did, and medical bills.
You are to be admired; you have figured out the single best way to get through what seems insurmountable — make it help someone. Through the darkest moments, it does get better. It’s taken many of the three years since my accident to truly accept that — and I have my moments. However, right about the time that I really start to feel at the bottom, I find myself online “bumping into” someone that has a story. And while I’m sorry you’re the one with the headline, I can assure you the newprint will go to help many people in many different situations — medical or otherwise.
I’m sorry we didn’t know each other as well as some; I think we finally started talking toward the last days. (Some of that is a grey area in memory-land still.) However, much success to you for your personal efforts of recovery as well as your new-found purpose of spreading words, hope, and healing to others. If I mind myself out that way, I will most assuredly look you up.
Best of care, and keep in touch.
