Okay I know its been awhile since I wrote..but its because I finally got some pieces of my life back-I started working again -Thursday and I work tonight too=] yaaay..i also get sooo much “homework” from therapy they say they do because I was in school and I need to get back in the mindset of school so Sherrie, my OT(occupational therapist), gives me like 75-100 math problems a night. Katie, my st(speech therapist) has me reading a book was supposed to read for one of my college classes and gives papers to write about and certain # of pages to read and they come together and have given me a project to do about famous people that have a brain injury.. its crazy who has a brain injury or head injury. So I have my busy life back! I missed it so much. And I get to work which I miss like its my J.O.B. lol I used to work like crazy like 30-40 hrs a week. Mostly because it kept away from things I didn’t want to deal with because I had to work. I used that as an excuse if I didn’t wanna do something or deal with things. It kept me hidden from things like feeling certain things. Idk its confusing-so I miss being able to hide from feeling things or dealing with things.
Me and drew are still going..-well me and drew. He came home for his high school’s wrestling team and then for vday. So I got to see him two weeks in a row. Now he’s not coming home until spring break so about 4 or so weeks. But I’m thinking I’m gonna be able to tlk either my sister or one of my girl friends from bdubs to take a road trip up there-if not I am hoping I will get a car asap..lol not only to be able to go up and see him but it can get back and forth from therapy and work and I don’t have to inconvience so many ppl. And I really try not to txt/call drew so much bc I ruined his college life last semester so I try not to this semester as much. I am happy he is staying up there on the weekends well I mean it sucks and I miss him like crazy but he has made so many friends. His group of friends got a house and are gonna stay in it next year.=]=] which I am so happy for him.. it makes me smile.
An update on therapy-well besides the homework stuff the two people that were in my group so I was with them everyday all day are though with therapy-so I am left there with the two new people. The boys that’s left, rudy and brian, were not my age but they were in their 30’s and were young enough for me to have fun with them-I enjoyed going to therapy well not enjoyed but it was super boring they were my entertainment when I was there. Now the two new people are ..well ..older. lol its just not as fun as it used to be at all. There is another group and I’ve never really interacting with them but now I talk to them all the time. They are younger than the people in my group so I naturally can talk to them easier. One guy, Steve, he is in a wheelchair not bc he is paralyzed but bc he has a metal brace on one of his legs he is my favorite. He always always has a smile on his face and he is such a smart elic. But in a funny way not an annoying way=]we have “outtings” every Monday and Friday and last Monday we went to a police museum. And I got to sit in a police car and turn on the lights=]=] if you know me you would know such little things as that and random things like that make me cheese a lot!!=] I was so happy. And its so weird how much I’ve changed-I remember ridiculously easy things I used to have trouble with but now they are easier. So therapy is def. helping-and its crazy I have noticed even within weeks I’ve noticed things that other cant notice. Like conversations and the way I think about something. But I am still having one HUGE problem. My mind gets stuck on one thing. And I will be thinking about this thing for days.
Okay I think I’ve touched on everything-if not well.. then its not that important or email and ask. I know aunti b said I enjoy getting emails from ppl and I really did when I was in the hospital but I still do.. one thing that didn’t get effect my the car wreck is me being a social butterfly.. its just my wings were broken for a bit.. but I’M BACK!!!!=]=]=]=]
