So, I went to my newest neurologist today. This neurologist is replacing the PA I saw after I had my first seizure. I am seeing another woman doctor in a few weeks. My other doctor is a woman. This is the start of the best of me, I believe.
I started but, I did not publish on the date of the appointment so here we are, letting you know that I loved them. I am in a really great place right now.
“I learned sign language in preschool! I wish I remembered it and I really would like to learn it again, I am only able to use one hand, though.” So, I belong to a lot of different groups on Facebook. One of them being ASLize your Life. On April 21st, they posted a picture that reads “Everyone should know American Sign Language! It should be taught at schools”
I used sign language tonight at the gym!!! I was swimming and I stopped at the end by the guy in the lane to my right so I could talk since that is my absolute favorite thing to do and then the guy signed to me spelling his name. I felt so embarrassed. I told him that I would learn more sign. The girl who got me in the accident over ten years ago can sign because her oldest sister is deaf and I have always been slightly jealous of that and nowadays with what I do for a living it would be helpful. I so wish I kept mine up.
There is something wrong with the medical field. I just had my newest neurologist drop me. I have had a neurologist for every year that I have had my traumatic brain injury, maybe a few more as it will be eleven years with my injury and I believe I have had thirteen different ones, thus far. One left me before I even got to meet him.
Are you alive? If you are reading this I would assume so. What is your definition of being alive? Some may say breathing, eating, seeing, walking. Which is true. These are all physical forms of being alive. As humans, your consciousness is part of your existence. Being conscious is part of being alive. This is what makes you, You. We are born with the ability to think rationally and critically. We are born with a moral compass. Now it may differ from each individual, but there is something guiding you in your decision making process that is deeper than primal instinct. Spirituality is about tapping into this energy. Think about it. The answers are within yourself. -B Hunt
My kids are the only people who I’ve spent time with consistently since I got the job in October of 2015. I miss all of my friends. We haven’t all been together since March 7th of 2020.
