With age, it's gotten easier. It's ok if I look stupid cause I'm getting old. LOL They probably think I'm senile anyway. LOL Trouble is, I know more than they THINK I know ~ but i can ACT stupid if I need to. LOL

Have a great day ~ and don't be so hard on yourself. God bless. hugs, Lee
Hi Leed

Thank you for your advice! I don't know why I am so hard on myself...maybe it is because I feel in some way the accident was my fault even though I was on the sidewalk when the guy fell asleep at the wheel. I want to believe that I could have gotten out of the way, but I know in some part of my brain that there was no way for me to move out of the way. Maybe this part of my brain is still recovering!
I had a closed brain injury and was in a coma for a month, so I already feel that doctors assume many things with me from this fact alone. Meaning that when I try to say something that goes against what they have said/diagnosed, they already give me this what does she know look. So I guess I act stupid all the time, so as to not make the doctors feel uncomfortable. SO STUPID!
We should go to a doctor appointment together, the brainless and the senile, to show these doctors what we know!

Hope you have a GREAT day as well! I will work on not being so hard on myself! But I am the easiest target to blame when things don't go as I had planned.
