About Me

Hi.

What to say.  It's late at night, and I'll probably change this tomorrow.  But...

Well.

I used to have a blog, and I really enjoyed it.  My life was chaotic, my mother was sick, I was her main caregiver, and each night I sat down and wrote about my day and how I was feeling.

Things went along well.  It was my way of dealing with stress.

And then.....

The blogging platform I was using started changing.  I need large print.  I even have a library card that allows me to take out large print books.  But the blogging platform was no longer accessible to those who need large print.  I tried lost of things to adapt myself, but it just didn't work.

The blogging platform was adding more stress to my already stressful life, and I deleted it.

But I missed it...

That was almost a year ago.  My mother's had surgery, spent 3 months in the hospital, learned how to walk, talk, and go to the bathroom again.  I'm still her primary caregiver, but live has calmed down.

I thought the surgery and the rehabilitation would return her to normal.  She'd be able to drive a car, cook meals for herself, and live on her own again.  Not true.  It didn't happen that way.

Don't get me wrong.  I'm so glad there was surgery, and there was rehab, and she can walk, talk, hold her urine, and remember her own life again, but...

I wanted it to be what it was.

The truth is, nobody knows how the brain works.  Even her neurosurgeon admits that.  It's not like an arm or something, that you can watch it move, understand it, and fix it completely.  No it's more complicated, and studying it in more depth would kill the patients the doctors are trying to fix.

Not a good idea.

But as we both try to get back to live, a new live, with a new normal, we are both struggling.

I know I am.  I'm pretty sure my mother is too.

And that's where you join me in my life.

Because I miss my blog.  I miss discussing my feelings.

I will never tell my mother's story, because it is not my story to tell.  If she wants to start a blog, and tell her story she can, but I'm not going to tell it for her, because that's not fair.

I will tell my story.  What's happening in my day.  I'll share my views on current events, politics, and many other things.  Mostly though...  I think this blog will be like my other one....  I share my life, my feelings, and my thoughts.

Or maybe I won't.  Hey I've only posted one thing so far, and I don't want to limit what all the rest of the posts will be.
