Patient today, UQ professor of english and linguistics. Whole life organising and exploring in his mind, wakes up at the apex of his career with a headache and a massive lesion over his language centres. Alive, reasonably well, just difficulty speaking or organising thoughts. At best its start again and get roughly back too where you were up to just in time for the end. Your days of ground breaking contemplation in your lifes work, or even understanding your own work, over. Realistically, there will be more incidents from here and u'll be compelled to choose another perhaps more simple life. Yet, most all the rest of you, undamaged, will still be the same old you striving, against walls already past and worse. Its this scenario, when I find the one I'm in already similar in so many ways, that knocks me for 6 the most when I see it. My organising and personal 'progress' is what I have. And hope for the right cva that brings a kind of peace Idk what to think about that position.
