hi bonnie.i don't really kmow how i'm coping with it ,how do i tell? i
feel fine about it except for the fact i can't talk because of it.the
few times a month i do get out, to go shopping, people just look and i
guess wonder as to what kind of an accident i had. i look completly "
normal " . and that's probably the hardest thing i have to deal with.
who wants to talk with someone who sounds like a "baboon" . i don't
drive anymore so getting out is something i can only dream about.it is
impossible to make friends except by way of this computer and being only
41 means i am not eligible for any kind of assistance in getting around.
i don't use a wheelchair (yet) and hope i never need to.i can still walk
about 100' with the aid of my cane,but i am always so,so dizzy i don't
dare try and go much farther.i hope that this answers your question
about coping i am fine
