Coming Out Of The Closet As Brain-Damaged...

So, last November, my brain was noticeably injured, and it could have had some very serious consequences, although I think I am past that now. I wasn't sure what I would have to tell people for a long time, but I think I'm "me" now, and I'm okay, just fuzzy-headed.

It does not affect my ability to write, although I am still wrestling with my body. Right now I have my right knee on the couch and my left foot on the floor. I am forgoing beating myself up by trying to crouch on pillows. I can't hold this position for long, but I would like to say I am officially out of physical pain since the 1996 injury that my parents punished me for having, I'm just dealing with tension now.
` I'm also doing vocal exercises to keep my voice from cracking since it went down an octave last year. That's how good my neck is doing -- I can hold my head up, turn it normally, feel air pass through the left side of my trachea, and my tongue no longer protrudes from my mouth, so I don't constantly have to pull it in. And yes, I have a deep, resonant voice!

This is all a lot more interesting than I'm making it out to be, it's just difficult to keep my balance.

I have much more to add to my blog, and have many more videos to make, including my podcast, which is what this blog is named after, however, the sound on my NEW computer isn't working! So, I'm about to take my laptop to the shop to see what's what. If I can't get it fixed, I will have to buy another expensive big laptop (it has to be large in order to accommodate my physical disabilities).

I have SO MUCH STUFF I've just not been putting online, so I hope to remedy that once I get my computer back.
