I received information from the Brain Aneurysm Foundation. They suggest that anyone who survives a brain aneurysm is a rarity, and journaling will not only help the survivor recover emotionally and mentally, it will help other survivors learn how others are coping. It is a good tool, also, for the survivor to look back to see their progress.
Therefore, this blog is going to have a new section added to it. It will be titled, "How Ya' Doing, Bob". It will include quotes from Bob about how he is feeling, what he is feeling, what he is thinking, and anything else that comes to his mind on that day.
I'll continue to give my "lowdown on the lunacy". The lunacy of the day was Bob's hair. It looked like Albert Einstein's. hahahaha...I think it's getting a little out of control. And to think, a few months ago, I had the beautician shave it all off to even it out after Bob's surgery. You know, I never mentioned...when Bob had his brain surgery, they only "prepped" the area of the insertion site by shaving that part of his head. No, they didn't shave the whole head (which you'd think they would do). They only shaved part of his head. Goofy.
"How Ya' Doing, Bob" - "I feel good. It's a fair amount of work trying to stay in touch with what's going on." Finish this sentence, My memory..."sucks". "I need to repeat out loud what people say. And, I have to pay attention more."
"I passed my food challenge of eating most of my dinner and one dessert."
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
"Father God, today I choose to give You thanks. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for setting me free. Thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus! I know You have a good plan for me. Thank You for leading and guiding me and for keeping me close to You all the days of my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
