So over the past few months I have experienced some pretty dismissing comments. I'm actually amazed that people would say these things ...

Taken for Granted

I believe that we all commit the sin of losing track, taking things and even people for granted. There are some challenges craniotomy patients may experience, that their family may not be aware of.

  1. Walking without watching your feet. 
  2. Listening to music without having pain.
  3. Watching TV without getting tired.
  4. Reading and not getting double vision.
  5. Being able to sit outside indefinitely without pain.
  6. Pain that can be effected by medication. (I miss this some days.)
  7. Not having frequent panic attacks.
  8. Being able to listen to someone talk while folding clothes.
  9. Eating much loved food without tasting metal or chemicals.
  10. The feeling of having hair brushed.
  11. Being able to whisper at night with your special someone.
  12. Picking up your child when they need you.
  13. Writing and not passing it through a spelling/grammar check for the fifth time.
If you woke up this morning, thank God, you woke up. You can pick up your crying child for the 7th time in a row, be grateful. You can watch a movie as a family tonight, enjoy it. Life is too short not to notice the little moments of joy. Life is amazing but if you don't pay attention, you will miss it.

God bless and keep you in His loving arms.
