Hi all,
As you know, there is a plethora of excellent memoirs out there detailing the long road to recovery, one must take to heal thyself. Speaking from my own brain haemorrhage experience here, it is a long lonely road. However, the journey is worth it!
For quite some time, I have been thinking that a series of short stories in book form would be easier to read.
Your thoughts are welcome!
Blessings to you. xx
It’s been 8 years since head injury. I would die that night but didn’t. I was in a coma and they were going to take me off life support and I moved. I would never walk , I do. I would never talk, drive, live alone, I do. Iv pushed so hard. Google my name
Thanks Candace. You are lucky to be alive and achieving all you have, since your head injury. It's the perseverance that keeps us going.
No I’m not lucky to be alive at all. Positive story’s always hold lies deep down. I put on a happy face and attitude but it’s false
Why do you not think you are lucky?
What is the name to Google?
I have not In all this time accepted my life now. Never tell that to anyone ever Barr you but I know I can with you. I will not accept it, this is not my life and I don’t want it. Simples. I’m living someone else’s life and I don’t like it. Google Candace Emptage ,,, just look at that smile,,, good ain’t it 🤣
It was a traumatic brain injury I had. It’s forgotten it has an arm and now it’s forgetting I have eyes and can’t work them properly. 😤
For whatever it's worth your words are very helpful, thanks. I am constantly having to look on the bright side to life as a knee jerk reaction to why I feel so bad... "At least you can walk", "at least you have enough marbles left in your head to realise you are angry" those are predominantly my two responses and reactions to the negative thoughts I have. It's draining to have that constant battle in your head all day long and it didn't really make me feel any better. Your story and your response is helpful though. You have done amazingly well and are doing amazingly well. You have a lovely, lovely smile and I really appreciate your honesty.
Yep, I hear you and understand this for sure. Luck is not how I describe it either.
