They way I "see" it...vision is way overrated. I just had to go to my town's Senior Center to fill out the application for the transit bus that takes all the old people from place to place. Turns out they also pick up us disabled folks too. I'm sure all the seniors there for their tea party were wondering what I was doing there! I say we all get together and have Suzy whip up an extra large batch of those brownies. Then we can just laugh at the absurdity of it all!
Well Ladies & Gentleman, what a hoot!! Trish, I do that thing in the shower every damn day!! Truly, how could we be frustrated?? Lol. I had a lady in a wheel chair tell me off the other day as I didn't get out of her way....I had NO IDEA she was there!! The lady in the chemist was annoyed as I didn't understand what she was saying to me...WT...she KNEW I have a brain injury. It's like that blokes (he has passed on years ago)song:
"SOME DAY'S ARE DIAMONDS, SOME DAYS ARE STONE"....Amen!!
Lesley - Have you seen that Betty White show? It's like "Candid Camera" meets geriatric pranks - pretty funny!
I agree. I think that guilt is overrated, too. A little goes a loooong way!
I'm a big fan of the primal scream...I need to use a pillow though, so my neighbors don't think that something weird is up.

We're all sharing here ...and I'm not going to sleep yet... Went to the grocery store the other day (ok the day before Thanksgiving that was awhile ago) but the place was a madhouse. Got a call on my phone from someone I hadn't talk to in almost a decade. Was so startled that I turned around and knocked a lady down who just looked at me like death despite it all. There was no amount of apologizing for her even when I helped her up. I just kept saying you ok? You ok? She turned out to be fine. That was SOOOO embarassing and the person still on the phone just laughed. I wanted to crawl under a rock. I know it's not much but it was huge to me. She was MAD. Ok, I really need some sleep...lol.
At least your family isn't obsessed with reminding you how much weight you've put on since the bleed! like I care! I'm willing to bet most people who cheated death don't give a rat's ass how they look in a bikini! I have learned to face facts that a crani discussion is Not an icebreaker and the portion of my frontal/temporal lobes that cared about how I looked in a bikini after 40 is gone! And good riddance I say! Wow, and a beer later, and I feel better already! Thanks bunches Julie! I needed that! At least you have a car to get back! My family sold mine to pay off the medical bills!
Funny - I happened to lose quite a bit of weight during my AVM experience - when I could fit in a size 0 (from originally a size 6 or a size 8 or a size 10, considering what I wore) and then finally grew out of a small, I was ecstatic - great "problem" to have! But I know what you mean..."little things" really don't take a priority when bigger things are on the front burner.
Hmmm... I lost weight too... just now getting some of that back. lol but I was NEVER a size 6 lol ... I wanna call you names, but I like you too much! :)
Yes being in a coma for 3 weeks was the best weight loss plan ever! I was down to a size 6 by the time I came home. That hadn't happened since I was 20! Then I put almost all of it back on after being on the damn anti-anxiety drugs. I've lost some of that but I only managed to get back to a size 10. A couple dozen or so more pounds to go.
Trish, I had no idea you were in a coma for 3 weeks...me too!! Then being in hospital for almost 3 mths, well, the weight just falls off! I ended up loosing 3 sizes from the inital weight. Now, I am still 2 under but I feel more is coming on, could be the new meds? Aarrgghh!!
hi julie, i was in the shower doing exactly this and forgot that i had already washed my hair, so long in the shower my 11yr old had fallen asleep by the time i came out of the shower, and i was thinking to myself while in the shower i could wash all the tiles down while there, would have probably been in it the rest of this week,hahaha, if only lol, que sera sera
Gee Lesley, what a fun thing to have in common! :). I was in the hospital for almost 3 months also. For me, it was definitely the meds that put the weight back on. I eat well and exercise a lot but I just can't replicate that brain bleed diet!
Brain bleed diet =)
Yup I liked it too… What are we twins??
That's ok Jim... world's ending in Dec anyway... munch on a cyber brownie :::: toss :::: :)
