After the memory trigger I started pushing for answers and by the fall of 2019, I was getting a contrast MRI and it showed the holy grail!!! Moderate TBI on the right frontal lobe and the brain bleeds were also on the right side of my brain… Throw in over 20 concussions and you got…

He Wasn’t Always Violent…
I remember as I lay there, only 5 years old and the nurse checked my temperture and I looked up at him and said, “I am being a good girl, aren’t I daddy”??? His look was one I never forgot, even after the brain traumas and the brain bleeds… I remember his expression and I…

Moving Forward…
For decades I dwelled in the past and the future had no light or existence for me, but I kept striving to find that future, not realizing… I had to move forward and quit looking backwards… My heart aches for every American fighing a war that was caused by a child rapist, but then you…

Why Didn’t I Write About You???
I told my granddaughters very young, sex was something to be enjoyed and used for your own pleasure and not for the benefit of others… I also told them their bodies were there’s and not someone else’s plaything… That being said as an introduction into sex, how many lovers have you had and do you…

When Darkness became Light… edited
I can’t count how many people over the years have told me I am up beat, sunshine, happy go lucky and I realize… Maybe they are right and I couldn’t see the forest for the trees, because of decades of depression… I don’t feel depressed… I feel tired and I know that will always be…

You Feel the Eyes, but Can’t See Them…
Camping was my favorite thing to do, with little costs and much reward… Now camping is a distant memory as I gaze at the 5th wheel we bought for trips to Disney World, then dementia entered our world on official terms… As Homer slips into the exclusive world of dementia, I ask questions… Questions I…

Shivering Won’t Quit!!
How is your ability to deal with pain??? I know Homer’s is no where near my ability, but he is a man and men are the weaker sex, becuase if they weren’t, they would be doing the child bearing… When the shivering starts, I will end up outside, no matter how hot it is and…

When Shit Hits that proverbial FAN!!!
How’s your day going??? I got up, waited on Homer and once he was up and ready, we hit the floor running errands before it gets any hotter and it went down hill from that point on… Diesel was $5.15 a gal… Just putting in $50 bucks only brought me to 3/4 of a tank……

Edification, Justification or Out to Lunch???
I ask that question because if I don’t, I am not progressing, I am stagnating… None of what has transpired since the memory loss was easy by any means…. I lived what every neurological disease you can imagine, fighting my way out of chaos… Chaos much like what religion and republicans are fueling as profiteers….…

Homer has ability and intellect I don’t and I likely never will… He has interests, that once caught my eye, but quickly got bored with… Homer likes puzzles… Be it words or pictures, he likes solving the puzzles… For me it is a tedious task that doesn’t stimulate me in anyway as there is no…

Apology Not Accepted!!!
Minimizing someone is exactly the hallmarks of an abuser or rapist… Doesn’t matter what walk of life you or the abuser are in, if they try to minimize you in any way… They are an abuser… My mother Freda Bagwell was that way… She would go out of her way to make anyone that was…

Can you Refrain???
Impulsive behavior is extremely normal with brain trauma and you can also exhibit the opposite and do what I call the, “the motor mouth syndrome”… Which is a by product of PTSD… Psychology says those of us who have a smart ass remark about everything and are the products of domestic violence, do it because…
