Patc Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Hello everyone! it’s been awhile since I posted, but I can’t let an anniversary pass without checking in. My anniversary date is actually tomorrow, October 26, but I wanted to post today as the opportunity presented itself. October 26, 2016 is the day that defines my life as before the bleed and after the bleed. I have been one of the lucky ones because other than the occasional headache, « fuzzy brain » and some fatigue, I’ve done pretty well. I am an Early Childhood Educator (30+ years) and I had to leave the classroom, as it was too chaotic for my brain. Today, I work with children on the Autism Spectrum as a Behaviour Interventionist - in their homes. Same field, just tweaked a bit. Personally, my main struggle has been the toll it’s taken on my mental health. When needed, i can count in friends, family and you! I have had therapy and that is always a big help. At the end of the day, this site has been a validation of my feelings, my fears, and has provided me a community of of generous, kind hearted people who have walked a mile in my shoes. For that I thank you. So, on this anniversary, I want to wish all of you continued good health, and most of all, laughter💜💜💜 Much love, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
