My stroke left me completely helpless. I had to relearn to walk, talk, swallow, brush my hair, tie my shoe, write...etc
I had a great team of professionals that helped me recover 90%
Today I have two boys. I work full time and I go to school
On the outside I look like im completely fine
However, my brain is broken....im broken
I once read that victims of brain injury who near fully recover sometimes have the hardest time finding acceptance. That is definitely me.
Its like when you are a child and your dog dies and your parents go out the next day and buy you a dog that looks exactly the same.
I may look and sound the same, but I am very different...
I will always miss the old me. Nobody will miss her more than I do...
But this is my new life. Its okay to visit the past, we just cant stay there.
Today I move forward. I must let her go....I will always love you Amanda but I have to move on
