After my head injury, which was bad and over a dozen years ago, I NEVER thought I would see happiness again.
My mom and girlfriend got me a kitten while i was in ICU because my mom heard it helps people get better.
My aunt was calling funeral homes.
I didn’t need them :)
The headaches and stiffness on the left side for about 4 to 5 years was SO BAD that I entered a psych ward once a year for 2 weeks to keep me safe from myself ending the terrible pain.
It was like a retreat :) It worked. I gathered myself together and fought for another year each time.
I lost everything I had..money, job..everything. But my life.
About 6 years ago, things started to get better.
The headaches were more and more bearable and now are gone almost completely.
The insomnia, which was 40 to 60 hours long at times, happens maybe once or twice a year.
I wake up with tremors and vivid dreams and muscle spasms. After 10 minutes, I am good for the day.
God gave me a miracle.
I’m rarely thankful for it and I need to start being thankful.
At 51, I need to be enjoying life more instead of hiding from it out of fear of what I’m not quite sure.
OK i’m done and you can bill me for the therapy session
what a tangent i went off on!! :)
sorry!
Not at all. I get it. Every day is a gift. When you think about it, no matter who you are.
