It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am a happily married mother and grandmother of a large family. I've also had several careers including writer, teacher, trucker, investment and finance advisor, web master and artist. I am an ordained minister (not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

Lawyers & Doctors

I goofed again. My lawyers office sent me an email a while back and I guess I started to read it and got side tracked. Richard found and read it and it says they (Workman's comp lawyers) have downloaded all my web pages and blogs. It also says a lot of other stuff about the "case."

Richard thinks some of that is intrusive. I don't care. I have nothing to hide. I don't claim to be sitting all day drooling on my shirt. I've had a brain injury and it messes with a lot of my life, but I can still talk, and if I can talk, I can write using iListen. I haven't done web design since I got hurt, but I can blog with http://blogger.com or use FrontPage to make changes in my existing personal sites.

I am thankful for my lawyer, but I wish we could just all work things out in simple terms. Reading the email containing copies of the lawyers on both sides talking about the expense money for this trip and the reviewing of all my web stuff just makes it seem so adversarial. Well, says Richard, it unfortunately is. How sad.

Meanwhile, dear friends and family I ask your prayers for a safe and pleasant trip and that I don't flood or get any headaches. It is really important that I don't mess up these appointments. If I got a bad headache I would not be able to function enough for the testing. If I flooded or went "fish brain" as Dr. Schutz calls it, they would for sure think I was trying to act worse off than I am. When that happens, it is only temporary, but these guys wouldn't know that. I want an honest evaluation... but I am not worried. God is in control, and He has a reason why all this is happening.

I will have family with me the whole time until I get on the plane home. Niece Pam helped me find a nice hotel and so all arrangements are set. It will be exciting to see how God might use me during this whole experience. Do pray that I may be a living witness for my Savior during every moment.

I'm not taking my computer, so will not be posting until I get back. I see doctors Monday and Tuesday then fly home Wednesday. Hopefully, I'll post on Thursday.
