It's just wonderful seeing you posting again KC.
A little dust never hurt anybody so don't you worry about those little dust bunnies. Take things easy, a day at a time. You're in my prayers always. Mag. Last edited by Maggie May; 01-11-2011 at 05:54 AM. |

Glad to see you able to join in again!
KC- you won my heart and my support and prayers months ago. (So did Moth when
he stuck by you.) Great mates always do! ![]() I know I sound like a broken record- but the brain will continue to heal for up to 2 years or more. Those brain cells and nerves take f o r e v e r to grow together again and talk to each other in different ways. Your progress will continue to get better in tiny increments - almost unmeasurable. We will worry for you. Just enjoy what you have gotten back and more will follow. Welcome Back!! ![]() Last edited by poohbear_nc; 01-09-2011 at 11:07 AM. |

Hello Lovey,
Do you know; I always suspected that you were smarter than us. It's lovely to have it confirmed though. As for dust bunnies; as a child I was told "Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust." - so I always thought that it was someone arriving or going! Take it easy. Lots of love, Nohmi |

Actually it is not a fact, but a common misconception.

Many thanks to all of you. (Except David who said I am NOT smarter - hehe kidding).
You have followed my illness and many may wonder about my 'miraculous' recovery. It is not so - my posts are written before I copy them here. I am still a slow thinker and due to my strokes have troubles with the fine motoric so type slow too. I have had several more operations last year so my head is still pretty bald (or does fluff count as hair?) I underwent strict and very regimented therapy (sometimes to the point that I fell asleep over dinner) but I really really hate my condition. I don't do weak very well and am very impatient with myself. My language skills have improved dramatically after the last surgery. I nearly had lost all of my english at one stage and had to move back to Germany as I could not communicate in Australia. Now I am pretty much fluent again in both languages. And am back home. Still use pointing and 'thingies' if I miss words though. Also my comprehension levels have increased - I am able to talk (&write) again in a civilised way. The understanding of context is still a bit slow - which makes reading very difficult. But I am drawing the story of the book I am reading (well kinda road map with lots of clouds & lines) to help me. Just wanted to clear up any misunderstanding - it was not so much a miracle but multiple surgery, excellent doctors, medical staff & therapists and very, very hard training that got me here. I am still and never will be the person I was - but my humour has not suffered, even if the laughter sounds odd. I will not be winning any gold medals at any racing events soon but I am planning on attending the bridge-to-bridge this year even if I come last (Mmh - next year maybe and I can be second last). My MOTH has and is great support for me and I cannot thank him enough. But thankfully I have taken over the cooking duties again. So to sum it up: my head is covered in scars, I got fluff on it, my brain has been reduced, I am limping, laughing, making grimaces and can't move my hand much due to the strokes. But I am HERE. And no, I don't want sympathy for it - I didn't do anything. I survived because ... (fill in the blanks yourself). I am glad to be here. And this is the last of this kind of post about me or my condition - oh, apart from: the big C is GONE, GONE, GONE. they cut enough out that the return chance is minimal. Any future posts from me will be related to other stuff - much more fun anyway. Still ![]() |

Yes - fluff counts as hair! Just ask any chicken!
![]() Your survival and come-back will continue to astound us and make us wear big silly grins around you for a long while! You'll get used to it! ![]() As your skills improve with therapy, I'm sure we'll start seeing you jump into other threads just like a "regular" MR member - although I'm not sure there is such a person. We're all cracked in the head a little bit I think. So - you're in the right place! ![]() ![]() |
