To me it was all just in a day's work, But with a brain injury I would definately try it part time, if you can, I had a memory loss issue in 2012 and now still have trouble myself remembering what I just said or heard, but believe it or not, playing this silly game, which forces us to remember so many items to find in so many rooms, then how to figure out getting crafting items made for less, via collections, and all the other things involved with the game, my memory over the last few months has definately improved. I have learned from the phyc class that when the neorons in the brain are no longer being used, we lose them and memory games help to make new ones, so that is why I even started playing the game in the first place, then found wiki and had to learn to type all over again instead of the one finger typing I was forced to do, and now tho I still make mistakes, I can type like I used to again, tho not as fast, but picking up speed as I go along.

Don't let people tell you "see you tried and failed" start out learning to walk then run, if you know what I mean. When we tend to overdo it, we panic and it makes the brain freeze up and then nothing goes right, we even tend to forget who and what we are (or at least that is what I have learned from others with similar issues of the brain, slow recall or no recall, recall immediately and forget 5 seconds later) such a drag to have these kinds of issues, I know that first hand. I wish you well, and wish too that we could meet face to face, it would be great indeed!!!

I count myself lucky in that I still had the ability to do all the "daily living skills and personal care" but took me an hour just to shower and get dressed, could walk but the dizziness made it very challenging, so I used a wheel chair for a short time and played with the dogs to start moving again. I basically slept 20 hours a day, could not stay awake so cooking was off limits, I boiled pans dry twice when I first started to cook again, so my kids had to take on the job of cooking, shopping and cleaning. I felt so useless.

You are strong indeed to have faced all that and as I call it "crawled back up out of the dark pits" to be where you are today. Especially when kids are involved.

Remember too slow and easy wins the race!!!

As I said before, lean on me when you need to, as long as I have some form of internet, I will always be here for you, my friend, I mean that from the bottom of my heart. 💖💕 hugs and loves, lola
