Hello my friends! Apologies for being offline for a bit. Between my medical issues which became worse and the loss of my very hard earned CryptoJeep life has been difficult to put it mildly.
Thankfully I have a team of caring doctors and medical professionals and a treasured caregiver to keep me going on the right path to healing right. We humans will heal. The main thing is to heal right otherwise you will have major complications in the near or far future and it's just not worth it.
When you're sick or injured, be sure you take it easy and do all you can to heal your body and/or mind correctly. Eat healthy, fill your mind with good and happy positive thoughts, books, and movies. Do not allow toxic people near you. It's absolutely worth it to allow only goodness into your life, body and spirit during healing, and anyone who even psychologically harms you during this important time must be removed. It's imperative- and not only when injured. Even if you have to force yourself- just do it! The dishes can wait and there's another day the work can be done. It'll still be there ;) You may not. Not if you don't take care of yourself ❤
I have some exciting news. I'm starring in a new weekly broadcast show and I'm considering daily one off episodes to accompany that. And I have two teaching gigs- one my own 501c3. And some of you are already aware I'm acquiring my MFA.
Ah. Shakespeare. It's either a comedy or a tragedy. My latest tragedy forced me to take it easy. Have you ever had to force yourself to look at the bright side and see how an evildoer can be good for you? Silver linings- every situation has them ;) Sometimes you have to think out of the box to see the shiny threads. But they are there :)
I'll be sharing more info on my new job and have a very interesting tidbit I can't wait for you guys to hear about! There's so much that's happened lol. I'll be here daily now unless bad evildoers jump out of the shadows to pull a Psycho on me in the shower ;)
But I guarantee that's not going to happen because the place is wired and boobytrapped to the hilt- I learned my lesson and do not forgeteasily. Not when it's big and important. Even with my Traumatic Brain Injury ;)
I miss you all so much. Even when I'm not here posting I read through your comments and writings. Your prayers and well wishes mean so much to me. You have gotten me through some dark days lately, no lie, and for that I am thankful.
I treasure you all so very much :) I'm proud to have such a wonderful family here <3
The community of Steemit is second to none and I'm proud to be a part of your lives.
I missed you 💕
I'm happy I have you guys. I love you!!!
Be Blessed my friends.
Congratulations on your new opportunities and thank you for the update. It is so important to remove negativity from our lives. Our spiritual health is a side that's too often neglected.

How are you recuperating, when will you finally be back here fully?

There were some days I honestly wasn't sure I was going to make it... But two days ago I felt better than I have in weeks, and I'm officially on the upswing :)
I still have a couple months, at least, of physical recuperation. And they tell me it can take up to one year for my brain to heal, but I'm officially on the mend 👍
I'm back to posting daily now. They may not always be long in-depth articles, but I'll be publishing articles here daily for the most part again. Minus any kid stuff or really bad medical days that arise.

Good to hear that you are making progress, both physically and emotionally. Concussions are very serious and some take up to a full year to recover from. My youngest boy suffered a severe one back in early May of 17 and he is just now back to his normal self. It was very frustrating for him and us to see him struggle like he was.
Look forward to hearing your new opportunities.

Concussions are scary. Sometimes I'm so frustrated because I know this isn't me-i know I'm not operating and thinking normal. But some other times... Others notice something I'm saying or doing or acting different but to me it's just normal me. I don't know the difference because it feels normal, even tho it wasn't my normal a month ago- if that makes sense. That's what's scary as hell.

Our son had real issues with his short term memory, it was really scary for a good 7 months, he would say he was going to get drink and then walk to the kitchen and couldn't remember what he went in there for, things like that. He would also do like you are saying, he would do things that seemed off the wall, one thing that did come from it that is very interesting that he never did before is he started just cutting up paper with scissors and then started doing oragami, he's gotten pretty good at it too. I think that was a direct result of the concussion, maybe from boredom of not being able to do anything else because he couldn't go on electronic devices for about four months because it would trigger real bad head aches ,

Oh my goodness, I have the same problem with my short term memory. It is quite scary because even though you know it will get better and return to normal in time, what if? I keep having to push those scary thoughts away. It's a real struggle remembering things you were just thinking or doing mere seconds ago.

Wishing you well @arbitrarykitten, you have been through a LOT, lately. Healing takes time, and requires paying attention and not "overdoing it" too soon.
I hope your new opportunities turn out to be wonderful; I'm sure they will!

Glad to hear you are back in the saddle! While there is a lot of wisdom in "fake till you make it" sometimes there is some baseline healing that simply must occur before you can really even fake it. Best wishes to yo!

So true.
Things are slowly getting better. I'm still in shock: they keep calling it my "near fatal car wreck" and it's still so surreal...
I'm fortunate that a couple of my doctors are true compassionates, it really makes a difference. It's as if the words of the non compassionate ones are brushed aside by the psyche or something...

You have a gargantuan task before you. Ever watched this guy? That thing the brain is DESPERATE to do, figure out how to NOT have this happen again... it can't really do that unless you swear off motorized transportation. It is inherently dangerous, and your brain knows that. You can do it though, you are strong and practical. You've got this baby!

I've never come across this guy before, thanks for sharing!
You know... I feel like I understand now. I knew concussions were dangerous before, yes, but now that I'm experiencing some truly frightful side effects I'm acutely aware. And of the importance of taking it oh so easy...
I also really want to do something helpful for others, or bring awareness on a deeper practical level, or something.
There has to be a way I can turn this into something good...

Did you ever know libertyteeth on here? He was actually an old political ally of mine from long before steemit, I just happened to run into him here like my first day. He suffered 5 serious concussions, it was REALLY jacking with his life. He is undergoing stem cell therapy now, and having FANTASTIC results. If you find you can't get over some hump, that is something you can look into.
I have no doubt you will find a way to make something good come of this.
