People here at tBlog and beyond, have rescued me with attention. Now I've launched my life onto the path toward wholeness. On one hand my efforts have led me toward literacy volunteerism, requiring training which will happen in October or so. That's quite a slow path, but still promising!

On the other hand, my steps have led me to engage the nursing faculty head on. Listen to me, this is really big! In effect I'll volunteer my services to that group (especially to the Salem VA) and also sit in on lectures on Friday mornings. Somehow I've turned the corner on believing that this will be a problem to it will most definitely be a privilege.

There's an us-and-them in this. Them will be the Dr Wellborn's who claim my disability to be unmanageable as such. Of course Us is those in Speech Therapy (and the Brain Injury Services) who believe that there's more than one way to skin this cat! The trick will be in bringing Them in close enough to make them into Us.

But on the scale of day to day, I'm placing one foot before another, and glad to do so. Tally ho!
