Me? Patient? Babe, I want things done yesterday. I ride on impulsivity. Based on my birth chart - it's a birth right...but one that needs some mastering. Healing has required me to be patient or try to learn to be patient, but I almost want it to be done? I'm like 'Ok, I've been patient long enough, let's get going!!!' Unfortunately - that's not how healing works.
Healing is not linear. Just because some things are good now, doesn't mean they'll be good forever..or maybe they will be, but then some other shit's gonna come up. While healing does go up over time, life will keep lifeing.
Personally, with a TBI, every day is a surprise of new side effects. Yes, even all these years later. Because, say it with me, brain *clap* injury *clap* recovery *clap* is *clap* life *clap* long *clap.*
Oh - and do you think PTSD goes away quickly? No, no, no - it just often changes the way it presents, leading you to think you've handled it all, but you haven't entirely.
With the debut of this podcast, the completion of my surgeries, and lots of other life changes, I am finally in a place of being able to address a lot of what I've been forced to push down in order to survive and keep myself moving. And most of it -well, actually all of it, if we're being honest - I didn't even realize I was pushing down.
That's why we have experts like neuropsychologists, psychologists, therapists, and life coaches who all us out!!!
Both mentally & physically, flare ups of conditions can occur. New hurdles will appear. Sometimes, when you're confident you've figured something out, you realize there's a whole other piece you gots to handle - or what you thought you had handled says 'bitch, I'm back.'
Patience is the softest form of love. If you love yourself, you owe it to be patient with yourself. If you love others, you owe it to them to be patient with them.
We all need more patience. We are all deserving of patience.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
