I've found a new way to try and illustrate the effects and how to try to cope with living with a traumatic brain injury! I choose from a Varity of posts in my many on line tbi support groups and try and show how others deal with this catastrophic injury! Tomorrow I plan on attending hics! I try to plan all my many medical appointments on Tuesdays, I have none tomorrow so I'm gonna do my best to be ready for an 8.58 pick up to go to hics :)!

I nearly forgot, the highlight of my day was becoming fb friends with another survivor! This pretty lady wasn't unconscious for but a few moments but that's all it takes! We chatted for a bit, this babe doesn't have the opportunity to talk and be with others who have a tbi. I think that is a needed thing to progress after suffering a brain injury! I hope I made her feel better! That's what I believe Jesus saved me for, to help other survivors deal with having a tbi! The fact that this babe is so very pretty didn't hurt either :)! 

I've been able to get all my laundry done this afternoon! I've still got many issues folding and getting my shirts right after being in the dryer! I now expect the problems and still work on strategies to make it less frustrating! The fact I CAN do it myself helps me to deal with these issues! Plus knowing that many of you had no confidence in my ability to do it independently :)! I love proving non survivors wrong!:) Now I gutta make a late dinna!  

I gutta do all my laundry at some point today! I've already booked all my trips for the week! That gave me a few issues completing too! Mainly cause the web site, I believe is not very user friendly also cause my computer decided to use a browser I don't usually use for this but it's done :)! I slept well last night that's cause I got off in to dream land dreaming about all the great hockey players I had the opportunity to either play with or against! The most notable would be Rod Langway! He was a bit older than I so it was just one youth hockey game! He went on to have a stellar career with the Montreal Canadians, and Dave Silk! Silkee was an Olympic gold medalist on the 1980 US hockey team! But probably the most impressive one I ever played with was Kyle Viecht this guy me speed than anyone I ever played with or against! He actually could fly on ice! Then in high school there was Mike Breen! His advantage was his family owned Cohasset winter gardens, The local rink g...

Today was a normal Saturday! I started the day with my normal two large cups of D&D's coffee then I rode to Wg's to pick up meds and some things to last the week food wise! I came home, turned on the tv and got in to watching all the Rocky movies! I have them all on dvd and video tape but I can't seem to not watch a Rocky movie when it's on! Just the story in those movies inspire me! I cooked up the leftovers from Thanksgiving tonight and it tasted great! The only thing missing was the great company I had on Tging day!

I made Tyson frozen fried chicken for dinna then realized I've got leftovers from Thanksgiving dinna! I'm sure it will stay until tomorrow! This is something that gets so frustrating! I may look at something and know exactly what it is, then loose track of what I'm doing! I forgot, and know what it's for too! I'm telling you this is a difficult, confusing way to live but I'm gonna live a happy, successful independent  life :)!

I just put all my dishes, pans, knives,forks and spoons away from the dish rack, then washed everything in the sink! That exhausted this survivor big time and there wasn't many too! When you live with a traumatic brain injury many of us suffer from chronic fatigue! I'm feeling all of that right now :(!
