Hi you guys! Welcome to my blog where I talk about my present.
Oh man! I’m in full on recovery mode. Now I know why I sit in my garden all day. You see, my daughter was here and I did things like go to the museum, cook with friends. You know, normal stuff. But when you have a traumatic brain injury like I do, everyday things become a challenge. My daughter is great! The kid is finally all grown up. It’s amazing to see. She was very helpful. At one point she was feeding me cereal, and I thought, wait a minute, this is supposed to be the other way around. It was a great ten days.
On another note, I’ve noticed that getting one day a therapy a week is really not enough. I’ve talked about this before but you need three to four days of therapy a week. I’m trying to walk again. Walking for 15 minutes a week will not advance you. If anything, it will set you back and frustrate you. Running track was the same thing. You had to train every day to advance. I guess you could apply that to anything you want to do in life. If you want to advance, you gotta practice every day.
I have been taking photographs as best I can. I figured out that if I tape a camera to a monopod it stabilizes me. It keeps my hands from shaking so much and it gives me something to hold onto.
I’m gonna keep it short this week cause I’m pretty wiped out. Talk to you next week. Love, B. Nice
