Farewell to my Mother
Farewell to my mother,
who once was so bright,
gone to a world that is grey without light.
Gone is the laughter,
the jokes until tears,
Replaced by her demons,
insecurities and fears.
There is chaos and blackness,
that lives in her mind,
a daughter who loves her is left behind.
The injury that caused her reasoning to part,
poisons my thoughts of her,
breaking my heart.
To love her anywa...2 Recommendations1 Comment -

2day, I decided to seek an online support group for myself. I have so much inside and most days I am ok, but some days (a few times month) I cry with sadness for my Moms condition now. It is a pain that is so overwhelming and hurts that I find myself so distraught with worry. I have decided to try hard to re-focus myself and find more time for healthy things to make me feel better.

Roy is doing good. No great gains in his stroke recovery. Janet is going to have surgery for macular puckers. I knew I wasn't seeing very well. But thought glasses would correct the problem.
No appointment set up yet. We can enjoy the great weather we are having.

We had a great time on our trip. There were 2,600 passengers on the ship. Now I want to spend more time with Roy. He was quiet on the trip. He sure got a lot of walking in.

Aphasia Information
Aphasia is a loss or impairment of the ability to produce and/or comprehend language, due to brain damage. It is usually a result of damage to the language centres of the brain (like Broca's area). These areas are almost always located in the left hemisphere, and in most people this is where the ability to produce and comprehend language is found. However in a very small number of people language ability is found in the right hemisphere. Damage to these language areas can be caused by a stroke, traumatic brain injury or other head injury. Aphasia may also develop slowly, as in the case of a brain tumor. Depending on the area and extent of the damage, someone suffering from aphasia may be able to speak but not write, or vice versa, understand more complex sentences than he or she can produce, or display any of a wide variety of other deficiencies in reading, writing, and comprehension.
