@Michelle Wild I’ll say the same thing I say about “education” about blindness and low vision: If God had wanted me to be education, He would have made me a teacher. He made me an attorney. I am not good at “educating”, and probably never will be, sorry to say. 😃

I have a long list, but I’ll cut it down to the most common questions:

1. You look fine; why are you still so slow?

2. If you remember stuff from law school, why can’t you remember stuff from last week?

3. How much of your TBI had to do with your vision limitations?

4. Why don’t you try thinking about others instead of yourself once in a…

Thank you for the compliment and I’m glad I could in some tiny way help you! Believe me, I have nothing but respect and admiration for anyone who works in law enforcement! My experiences can’t compare to yours!

I was greatly moved by the three survivors’ stories! I’m glad I could hear them! They deserve a lot of credit for starting over their lives!

I just joined Community Plus and I’m glad I did. I think it’ll be worth every bit of the amount!

Today’s been a sit-around day. My husband is very sick and the so-far treatment isn’t working. So I’m staying put and catching up on little things I need to do. I can’t or won’t go outside because it was a whole 4 degrees outside this morning. …

O Happy Day and Praise God for leading me to my new neurologist! This one is fantastic! She’s empathetic, a good listener, and tells it like it is, even if it’s difficult to take! This was such a big thing for me, seeing her on New Year’s Eve, that I have a much more positive attitude about going into 2026! I wish all of you some…

We have two days left of 2025. I hope everyone had a pleasant Christmas, if you celebrate Christmas. I certainly hope 2026 is a happy, blessed, and prosperous for all of you!

This is an interesting day. It began with my neurologist transferring me to another doctor in the clinic without my consent. I was at the office ready for an appointment when I found out, so the trip was wasted. Immediately after learning this, I felt an ANT crawl. It said something to the effect that I’m not even important enough to notify…

Thanks for the explanation about the verification codes. I kind of had a hunch the reasoning was something like that because I downloaded BEST’s Strategizemylife to my iPhone and iPad and it’s so intuitive that I think I can learn to use it before Tech Tuesday😃 I was taken aback by the code because I usually need a verification code to access…

You’ll probably regret asking my opinion, but you say you want feedback from us. Well, I’ll tell you, to put a verification ode by email in the registration was a very bad idea! For someone with slow eye-hand coordination, clicking up and down and copying a code just made registration more difficult for me. I’m surprised something for…

Thanks, Tom! I think the hardest part of this BI thing is the feeling alone in your “behindness”, so I appreciate your empathy! I am now saying my life is either like a leaf in a hurricane or a piece of space junk in a black hole because it seems I either feel like everything is whirling around me and I’m seeking the quiet eye, or I’m…

My brain is really tired! It seems a few weeks I needed to download Windows11 because Windows 10 is no longer supported. OK. I began to have different kind of himky problems. This morning I exercised and was ready to tackle some things I’ve been meaning to do and I had a crash again. The outcome was something about “driver files”, my tech…

This is good. Now that I’ve accepted enjoying more and accomplishing a bit less, I will work on ignoring what others think. I think it’s better to have two or three trustworthy, true friends than to have this crows of half-assed sycophants around who either want something or will drop you like a hot potato as soon as something…

I finally figured out how to make my pic more than a blur! 😀 We had a wonderful webinar yesterday! The after-hours sessions are the best; our groups are so good!

This will make those of you in the webinars laugh: my neurologist told me yesterday that I’m doing too much “pushing through” and not enough taking life one day at a time and enjoying it. I was surprised because usually the medical people want you to push. I said I want to know why sometimes I feel I’m going backwards instead of forward and…

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 17:10:51 -0700

I want to know why the master schedule on the website states there is workshop today when there is not. Does the schedule need revising? This has happened to me before. Does anyone else have this problem? It’s very confusing and is making me feel like I don’t want to attend any more of the classes.

It’s now been about 20 months since my BI and I’m better than I was when I came home from the hospital, but I don’t know if I’ll ever be the way I was before the injury. I’d like to work part-time, but my job was my brain, so I don’t know. Here’s a trial balloon I’m floating: Is there anyone out there who would like to connect with me to…

The Self-Reg Workshop was vine! Great! I reconciled my problem with the schedule and got June 27th down for the SR follow-up. I love the group discussions. Michelle, I’ll kind of work on some categories for headings and subheadings for a binder, since I have so many lists and outlines. Maybe with several of us working together, we can…

I have now gone ten days without a headache! That’s sounds kind of silly, but it’s a big deal to me! I’ve even been adding to my little exercise sessions and with warmer weather approaching, I’ll spend a lot of time outside walking. Up to now, that physical activity part of rehab was tough because I have no stamina. On May 17th, I’ll be…
