Overloaded

Today was full.. to overflowing. Full of meetings of wonderful folks. Full of doctors. Full of love. And now full of pain.

This morning I met with the wonderful Women of Grace and we were blessed by a new member. Our session was a blessing and full of loving encouragement for one another. Then I was off to the first of two doctor's appointments. Both went well, I believe, but it's always draining for me to go to a meeting or appointment of any sort. Then I needed to get fitted for new glasses... The price would knock your socks off! Finally, I had a great visit with Silvio Garbarino, manager of the Elk Grove Wal-Mart... MY Wal-Mart. He's one of the best "bosses" I ever worked for or with (my hubby, who used to be my "boss," is another).

So, by the time I got home, I was overloaded and numb. I, like many brain injured people, can handle only one thing even close to well in any given day. What is "automatic" for the rest of humanity, requires conscious effort for head injury survivors. So, while you are on "autopilot" in a conversation, we are struggling to keep track of who is saying what (including ourselves) and even what the subject of the discussion IS.

Having expended my energies on the events and people of this day, there is now really nothing left, so I will bid you a pleasant and blessed evening and go to sleep if I can medicate my head pain down to a tolerable level. There are more doctors to see tomorrow.
