repeating

This is something that I do all the time. I repeat what I just said.

This is something to keep in mind and it is common. I have learned when I do this by social or professional awareness.

As a survivor; I believe the best suggestion is to recognize thet social and/or professional signals of awareness. The other best thing to do is what to talk to figure out what thoughts you can structure to not repeat.

buttons

I have a challenge with wearing buttons. For instance; today, I wore a button down cardigan and missed the lining up of the buttons. I went to work. I was not informed by anyone. Seeing my buttons mismatched is hard enough but being in a professional setting does not help.

Friends and family will inform but give the time needed to find the mistake. However; it changes when you are in a professional setting.

Advice; try to alter your professional wear to only have buttons on your pants. Shirts/blouses/ Jackets can be worn but with buttons that do not need to be button. Those buttons are more just for show.

eating ice cream

Eating ice cream of any type of item similar is a task. I can only have this in my hand while eating. I also use a cup holder to grab with my left hand while I use my right, full functioned hand to eat. My left hand can grasp things very tightly and cause items like ice cream/shave ice to pop out of the cup/cone.

May 2013: First Annual Golf Tournament

Funds from the tournament will provide the ability to move forward with opening a resource center. The center is primarily to provide tutoring, support group meetings, and resources for college/high school/junior high (middle school), and elementary school.

May is stroke awareness month. The tournament will be held in the San Diego County or Orange County area of California during the month.

Golfing: Therapy

This is a great therapy and sport to play and participate in as a survivor. This is also the reason why this will be the first fundraiser for the organization. The golf tournament will be in May of 2013. May is stroke awareness month.

Mazes

Mazes have always been a challenge... Here is an example of one that made it difficult for me to complete with the request for me to be the leader.

The best position; a helper not a leader for mazes.
