I guess there is no better time to have a brain injury than now. I’ve got the time to focus on myself, & learn everything again. Not many people get to start afresh, it’s like a blank slate. If there was anything I didn’t like about the old me I get to relearn, but differently.
Now I’m in a wheelchair & got a Zimmer but I’m learning how to walk again (doing pretty well) & I have a physio so I focus on getting stronger.
I focus on reading (which is a good way to waste time during the lockdown). I’m reading 3 books now which I would certainly recommend. Part of my brain injury is that i have to relearn reading. I have never been a quitter so I do more reading than before.
Just talked about reading, I’m blind in one eye. So I probably read more now because I like to work areas I find challenging.
I actually know some of the authors so that may be an ulterior motive but I’m really enjoying the books. Maybe I should start a reading club! Well I’ll first let you in on what I’m reading now:
“The Brain that Changes Itself” by Northern Doidge
“The Buying Brain” by A K Pradeep
“Who Am I?” By Polly Williamson
I want to say what I have read of all books have been thoroughly enjoyable.
