Don't Leave Me this Way or when I get back on my feet...

I got the book today from the library. I started reading it and I suddenly started crying. Boy, does it ever bring back memories. I don't know if I will be able to read it. I want to, but I hate the way its making me feel. I knew the book was about Julia Fox Garrison having a stroke but I never expected it would hit me this way. Funny how you think something is over and can not affect you anymore and it comes back to bite you on the ...

 

I am on new meds and I wonder if my reaction to the book might have to do with a side effect of the new med. I feel aweful, like, I had one drink too many (but I don't drink) Maybe today wasn't a good day to start this book, I'm too emotional. I will keep this topic for another day.

why does it make you so emotional, I am now curious what it has in that touched your nerve. I think it's okay to cry over our losses sometimes but also don't forget to pat your back you have lived garcefully the post stroke journey of your stroke. people like you make me stronger. I know in my heart I will do great in my post stroke life too, don't know where it will lead me but as long as I do my duties rihtfully things will start to fall in place for me.

Hi Asha, you are right, it should not have touched a nerve like that but like I said, I am on a new med and I think I am feeling the side effects more than anything. Thanks for your comment.
