i don’t subscribe to being okay with an outcome just cause something worse could have happened. and i would rather have died than have to live at 75% for the rest of my life.

there's people out here born paralyzed that can't move their bodies with severe cognitive and motor.

they didn't choose that s*** as you didn't choose your situation.

i know you don't like to hear it could be worse, but from my perspective this is like dodging a bullet. having one bum arm isn't 75% to me either.

but i feel you man and i hope one day life will be worth living for you

but there are many out there that got it much worse

and didn't ask to live with disabilities.

dudes born f***ed up with shortened life spans because their mothers were hitting the bottle

and yet some of these people are happy and love life and are a blessing to those around them.

think of all the people you'll be able to help and inspire through what you've been through.

now you know what it's like to be a second class citizen.

i know i’ve heard it my mom talks to me the same way “you could’ve this you could’ve that” so you should be happy. that’s not really how being happy works though

yeah i hear ya bro.

if i had a stroke i would probably legit jump off a bridge

keep in mind though that your brain is healing and responding to trauma and there is a correlation between depression and brain trauma.

you may be happy again.

Holy s***

You can play Runescape it’s a great way to pass the time and Easily played with one hand

just going to continue to do passive exercise and mirror therapy and hope that my brain establishes some new pathways and i don’t have to live like this

u from ny?

yes buffalo

i live in central ny. i want to hit an art supply store in buffalo though. hyatts.

maybe when this covid s*** is over we could meet up and shoot the s***.

lemme know man. i plan on taking time off this summer hopefully.

i know beggars can’t be choosers, but not something i’d be interested in.

just bought a mouse with buttons on the side for button mapping and i guess a lot of stuff has that ability on some games

gonna try that route

hope your recovery is going well 💙 did you get to keep a scan of your brain

hey thanks and i could have but my mom didn’t, i wish she would’ve. this is a nightmare for her as well so i see why she wouldn’t want it

yo good luck bro ❤️

You’re 1000% justified in feeling that way and I’m sure you’re sick of sappy feel good s*** but there’s no such thing as living at 100%. Your life is still meaningful

It sounds like bullshit but your attitude is the most important thing in the long run

My boy.

i know you are right, it’s hard to look at it that way though obviously

i have a terrible attitude for something like this i knew that for sure

my friends mother had a dead arm that didn’t wake up for a few months so that gave me a better outlook that it can still happen since i’m only a little over 2 months since it happened

one comment for free clothes

my thalamus is blown to smithereens apparently, so my brain needs to find a work around up there

i need this out patient stroke rehab to open up cause this home care is some trash

Sheesh thats brazy

3 month anniversary today 🤢

Glad you’ve made it 🙏🏽
