Finishing “Awake” took much effort but it is here, reworked, beaming with color and striking details. Bellow are my comments. I woke to a new existence somewhere unknown, they called it a stroke. Now words come like slow snails, or they are kidnapped so as not to form on my…

Validation. Symptoms. Wording.
A nurse came out to assess me for continued in home nursing. I asked about the difficulties I have with speech but not with reading. She said my speech and memory issues are related to the stroke. For example, say I may want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I’ll…
The Whole World is On Fire
This company, CICOA, that serves the elderly and disabled to find so called care companies to come in the house has now been told that I have DID. They, CICOA, told the doctor if I wanted care I’d have to give them both psychiatric and medical diagnosis. I was not…
The Deluge – Now in Etsy
