Entry #2
So, as I was reading some posts from people, I noticed someone had a blog. I wondered why I didn't have a blog! I figured it may help me in what's going on and venting etc. I go to start a blog...yep...you guessed it...I already have one! So, that was actually kind of nice! I thanked myself for starting one and here I am!
I am preparing to take a license exam for social work and am becoming quite discouraged. My short term memory is shot. Which makes memorizing things next to impossible. I write, I read, I explain, I review etc....nothing seems to make it stick. I can't afford to take the test again. WAY to expensive. So, I am avoiding studying for the moment to talk with you all here!
I continue to notice things I have lost the ability or understanding to do. Spelling used to come very easily for me...not anymore. Speaking and finding words has become a moment to moment challenge. Some days I just quit talking. Putting things in order, organizing, going through directions...so many things have all become challenges. Not that I am giving up...just that I am venting I guess.
My family pretty much ignores that I had a stroke. Unless I bring it up, everyone goes about life as normal. NOT that i want everyone reminding me an such...but it's like it never happened to them. Wish I could ignore/forget it that easily. Hmmm...wonder how it would be if I forgot I had a stroke or if I never even KNEW to begin with...
My doctor that I was crazy and needed therapy when I told him I didn't know what things were called etc. He SO did not take me seriously. He is no longer my doctor! I had my MRI done and he had to call me into the office and say "You actually DID have a stroke". REALLY???? DUH! Anyway, I guess I have rambled on long enough and need to get back to studying.
Hope everyone out there in Strokeland is...well...I'm not sure what...just hope you are whatever you want to be! Hope everyone out there in Strokeland _________________________ (fill in your own answer!)
