J, you have an extreme case of grit, talent, and adaptability, and it shows in this amazing piece. You vividly show the wild and wooly landscape of bewilderness, using your impeccable, well crafted prose to draw the lucky reader into the fun house mirrorred

hallway of traumatic brain injury. Really, a tour de force.

bewilderness but not left behind, Judith, not alone, that's for sure, but one of a feisty bunch of us, both less and more than we used to be and in good company, honored to call you our friend.

Thank you again for your thoughtful comment. I would say I am not really describing injury. I am a writer describing the world as I see it which is much broader than any particular injury and hopefully much more interesting.

I wish to say that your writing is so powerful that it stands spins and attempts to come to rest, all on its own. But, because I had the blessing of spending a little bit of time in your presence in a previous decade, I feel even more in touch with the brave and lyrical self who you share so generously in these spaces.

J, your “Once upon a time” paragraph is simply amazing. By its ending, the lucky reader is completely befogged and has not one landmark with which to gain orientation. It was then that I began to grasp the full dimensions of life for a TBI survivor. Even as you describe the bewilderness in which you find yourself, you bring the powerful metaphor of an internet search engine as you candidly explore the seeming randomness and capriciousness of the world wide web. Your use of that pesky autocorrect computer feature we all hate poignantly expresses the bewilderment we all can feel as be age and recover from unhappy injuries and events of our pasts. Thank you so much for your pioneering work.

I think I would just say the world seems a bit chaotic and capricious. And I thank you again for each and all of your comments.
