So the doctor came in and spoke with mom and said they want to send you to the inpatient rehab center just across the parking lot...there at Tampa General Hospital. At first they said one to two weeks...and now it's changed to three to four weeks. After that, the doc thinks you should be able to live on your own! They spoke of disability papers as well. (there are a few kittens trying to get their mittens on your personal affairs, so I'm excluding some things on here brudda) You are getting irritated and agitated with a lot of things...mostly being told what you can and can not do (which I say isn't anything to do with your recent head injury, haha!) But Mom is thinking it might be time for her to go home. It seems that you are coherent most times...and you have a really good idea of what you do and do not want to do!
The doc also tells us today that you've injured both sides of your frontal lobe...so it wasn't just the left side of the brain, it was both the left and right hemispheres of the frontal lobe....WOW! Also says you are doing extraordinarily well for someone with that much of an injury.
You got irritated with mom today because you wanted to contact Cheryl. You don't remember what's happened with her, at all...and you text her a few times to ask "where are you". Its a bit heart breaking for those of us who know the story...but there is nothing we can to do stop you from jumping from this frying pan back into the flame.
Mom...and every one else...knows you are irritated and agitated as a result of this brain injury...and you must know, this is normal for this type of injury. Its another reason why rehab is going to be so important. After a head injury bro, things change. And you have to focus on your coping abilities...give your actions much greater thought and rationalize them FIRST. Not just your actions...but your reactions and your emotions. Frontal lobe damage is some serious business. I have so much hope for you...I know this road has just begun...but I have faith you'll make it. A lot of people are pulling for you Jay!
I sent an email to Cynthia's mother today bud. I was completely respectful and said you were hurt and asking where Cyn was...I also said I would love to have some part of my nephews lives....She didn't reply and she blocked me on Facebook.
Today also brought about a bit of frustration...where is Jay's wallet and paperwork! Ahhhhh!! Stokes and Megan were at your house trying to find all these things = )
The sun will be rising there in Florida in just a few hours...the start of a new day Goonie. Let us see what this one brings.
(I think this was the first time you were dropped on yer head)
(hheeheheehehee)
