Retardment

Retardiment is when you make new friends every day Coz you don't remember any of them from yesterday Now that's damn funny A choice doesn't apply Their brains, without warning, have slipped into decay

Sadly so, except for the awesomeness of new friends every day ;), When I was in the hospital, my best friend would visiypt, go to the bathroom, then surprise me again... Yes I was hit that hard. Good morning hugs my sweet Jack <3 xomo!

How do you remain so alert and so creative! I would guess you were that before your accident and subsequent to it! You amaze me every day!!!! LOVE!

October 4th, 1995, and until last year, I did not know, that anxiety, fatigue, the loss of strength in my arms, vertigo, light and noise sensitivity were related, just the anger and memory issues, all that conventional medicine knew at the time.
