Pembo, {{hugs}} to you. You have made so much progress and I'm sure that you'll continue to get better. Hang in there. You are one tough lady!

Hey Pembo, I have been wondering how you have been doing, sorry to hear your progress isn't as far as you want it to be. Remember though, it could be worse, and you will recover eventually. to you, and please take it one day at a time...Faith.

Barb, my thoughts and prayers for strength and recovery for you continue.

Barb,
You are still in my prayers. I don't blame you for being frustrated and discouraged, I would be, too. But - as you also stated - you have come sooooo far, and I just know that your recovery will continue.

In the grand scheme of things having to wear glasses isn't the worst -- but it's something I can relate to. I've had to stop wearing my contacts for the last few years due to eye problems and it's a big adjustment. I just can't seem to find the right frames to feel "good". But, I just heard a tale of my cousin who had a wicked eye infection caused by her contact and nearly went blind. Now, she can't wear contacts either but her attitude is -- who cares? We can see and we should be grateful.

Pembo, I know you see how far you've got to go still -- but you should take pride in how far you've come! We're all still praying for a full recovery.

Hugs, prayers, and PD for you, Pembo! It sounds like you've made some real progress. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! And reading the posts here, it looks like you have improvement to look forward to. Keep your chin up!!

awwwww...Pembo - hang in there! It sounds like you've made a lot of progress, yet I see your frustration (yeah, yeah - you're supposed to be grateful that you came through the surgery - there's nothing wrong with wanting your progress to be further along!)

I managed to live through my brain aneurysm 4 years ago and had a lot of the same issues crop up. (The most difficult for me has been the "word find". It really is quite frustrating!)

The best way I found to deal with it is to, somehow, enjoy what you have left! Sounds pretty easy to anyone who hasn't had any problems like this. You don't really need sympathy, just a few words of support.

It takes a committment on your part to take a deep breath and not worry so much about what others think. Remember how you felt about someone who may have had some dibilitating injury when you saw them before it happened to you?

Be confident in your future and bold in your ability to get passed the current difficulties and the rest will usually fall into place.

Hey! You survived a brain operation! Isn't that amazing?! Not everyone can do or even say that!

All will work out and you will be a fiine example of how we all can survive.

Best wishes for all you do!

Said it before and still mean it, you are my hero. On top of all you are going through, you still care for your children and DH. You still take so many others into your heart.

You amaze me. Keep up the good, but difficult, work. I am encouraged by the comments others have made about similar situations as yours. Sounds like you have a good possibility of gaining even more you have lost. One thing that will never be the same is your perspective on life. You have the ability to see things most of us will never understand as you have been there yourself. I see that as a positive change.
