STEPPING FORWARD

Almost immediatly following the beginning of this mellenium, I experienced a serious Brain Trauma Injury. After surgery I was significantly paralyzed on the right side, my speech was slow, and short term memory impaired.
I am writing to tell anyone and everyone who needs to know, that recovery is hard work, but with "extreme concentration" everyone can be and do better each and everyday. In my adversity there was opportunity.
I had to relearn how to read, write, walk, and think. Although I had retained my "historic memory" the relearning process gave me the opportunity to choose how I wanted my intellect to function, for the future. I chose to be more compassionate, considerate, outgoing, and happy. This experience has allowed me to better understand, what I call "the mysteries of life".
I am convinced that things happen, at least sometimes, exactly when it is needed. The fact that I am able to "stumble" onto this Blog Site, and offer to converse with anyone in this world that could use some encouragement, is a testament to the type of possitive opportunities that jump out to us.
IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW HAS EXPERIENCED HEAD INJURY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SUBDURAL HEMATOMA, STROKE, MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, ETC. I WOULD LIKE TO HELP.
Although I was not injured in combat, I am a U. S.combat veteran of the Vietnam war, so if there are folks in the Veterans Administration System, that would like to talk, I'm here.
