High functioning, handicap, no. Challanged yes

I remember In rehab when I was told "I was high functioning" I almost puked. One day the smartest person in school, Bam! High functioning. What a blow, I could almost always say " Im the smartest person youll know" and it would be true until now. Im handicaped, like in horse racing. I thought about that, I liked it. Not disabled, I can, but slower. I was happy as I could be with that word. Today I was talking to my police cheif, and he said" giving me a handicap would be cheating the race must b

After the blog work on on my hand, I use hair bands to work fingers, they cramp after but... no pain lil gain. But gain. I feel normal sometimes until I try a task, I am reminded, somethings are easier some not. The hard is the mind I read, Im a internet fool just to read and type, write on comp. I have been drawin

A broken vacuum, a failed day

I decided i could take thw speaker wires that surround the living room and fix them and start to attach them to the moulding. It would be neater and easyer when sweeping. Well of course I cussed alot while I was doing the project. I was moving somthing in the hallway. I didnt grap it right and knocked stuff down breaking the vacuum. She got mad. My only goal was to be good to her and not anger her.I failed. The progect was to make life easyer for her. I have not finished my project. The hard

I crave more emotional support from my wife maybe to be cottled, but do I? It bugs me when my mom does. She is doing everything for me. Im a bigger idiot then I knew. I crave her to say she needs me, she dont need me. I need her. Kelly if you read this Im sorry I wanted you to be weak telling me I have to get better that you need me. Am such a dope I wanted you to be weak to boost my spirits .... heck Im a piece of $$#%@. At the same time I NEED you to be strong do everything for me. Im a cree

Time lost!

I have realized that I lost alot of time with my stroke. The year or so before is more fragmented then childhood memorys. Barely can I remember days of working for the town. Forget the mths before, weeks, days. No wonder I get paranoid. I piece things together. To I have it right? Was I really Elmer J Fudd and I owned a mansion and a yacht? I have a nice house a boat in the drive, but it ant no mansion and yacht. As things get put together I hope Im happy with it.

Then I think Im jealous, she works drives has health and is in control(shes smart and beautiful). I dont think the control is a issue, its my lack of that hurts( and she is smart sand beautiful). I have to depend on her, that scares me, its not just trust, its my lack of ability(and shes smart and beautiful). I
