Sorry (errata)

i meant “anyone” not “anymore”.  I can no longer see the words clearly on the predictive text when I post using my phone after my ABI and it’s difficult for me to do a pinch and zoom since my co-ordination is compromised.

Sorry

Thanks for all the support.  My last post was not meant to be negative or alarm anymore. It’s just there are days when I get frustrated and I need to express it. Will try to avoid doing this in the future.

panic (in the streets of Adelaide)

last night I woke up from a dream and couldn’t breathe and get back to sleep – had to sit-up to facilitate the airflow.  I think I experienced what I can only describe it as my first “panic” attack – it felt similar to one of my claustrophobic bouts. Maybe I’m just “slow’ but after nearly a decade after my unnamed ABI, it was my first dream that I could remember where I was “disabled”.  Maybe it was acceptance or realisation. Or (seeing as it’s been really cold lately) I only do half of my daily exercises.  Or the news feature on assisted dying and how close Victoria is to passing draft legislation.  Regardless of what brought it about, my family is better off with my pension, so I better continue to suck it up. I’m really tired – I just need my “second wind”.

the other night we watched the musical in the Adelaide Festival Centre with my “youngish” family.  We thought it was quite good and my 13 year old son really liked it.  It was my second favourite of everything I’ve seen (and I’ve watched a few Broadway productions). The kids were amazing.
