Infernal Birdsong


Brilliant- heartfelt prose filled with honesty and rich imagery - thank you for sharing!
I'm slowly making my own peace with that gloomy square, but the sun still shines.
wow !!! I could have written that myself … your words explain the hell of brain damage .. so difficult to explain to others and it’s invisible … 🫥 no one see the every single day of the constant fighting , exhaustion , head pounding ,irritability, frustration,confusion, ,struggling to speak and hear,struggling to find the right words, anxiety, depression,the fight between the old me and the new me ..😩. ………the list goes on 🥴….
Thank you for sharing this .. Sue x
Thanks, Sue! Yes, it was quite tricky to write, but I hoped very much it truly conveyed the reality.
If very much did convey what I struggle to say .. I showed my husband and I think it helped him understand what is Infact not understandable if you haven’t experienced it .. I pay play it at my PIP tribunal on Thursday if I can’t get them to understand ..Sue
It brought a tear or two when the infernal birdsong became 'melody', as it did the first time around. . . .
And I'm guessing Mrs N. aided the acclimatization 🤔. . . .
Good to see/hear you again Andy ! Much love to you all. E Xx
