Seven Degrees Left of Center

by Dale

Rated: 13+ · Book · Personal · #2276168

Each day is new; my recollection of the previous day is minimal. I’m learning to adapt.

Following a severe seizure, an MRI revealed a tumor the size of a lime in my brain. September 2019 is when this occurred. Situated one inch left and seven degrees from the center of my brain, the tumor touched the hippocampus. The part of the brain that handles language and memory.

When someone wants to know how I am doing? My reply is, “Seven Degrees Left of Center”.

In response to "Change"

It's amazing to see the grands grow up and blossom. I wish her well as you do. It's an exciting but also frightening time. I'm sure she will manage it well, as you have seen her qualities. Best wishes for her, and you as change comes quickly.

In response to "Interrupted by Writing Errors"

I do have a suggestion, actually. You could create / write on your system's basic Notepad, then copy / paste the finished product into the appropriate place on WDC. I use a Windows machine and the Notepad does absolutely no error-tracking, so you wouldn't get sidetracked by squiggly underlines, red lines, etc. Also, using the Notepad would let you maintain a Saved copy of your work without having to remember to hit the applicable button on WDC, until you're ready to post your work.

In response to "Stop dwelling on yesterday."

It's so easy to get stuck in the past, isn't it? I think it's good to write about it. It's better than holding it in. But I agree with you, it's not healthy to dwell there. 💞

In response to "What about today?"

Thank you for this reminder. I often get myself into a tailspin trying to do everything at once. I need to breathe and prioritize.

In response to "AI?"

We can't judge you for trying it out. I know there's a lot of controversy about AI, and sometimes people come here and try to fake us out with those stories. Always know your frail human spirit is so much better than anything a bot can put together. Wishing you all the best

Venting is healing to. Maybe she has to heal as well. Trauma affects even those not physically attached. Good luck to you and my prayers.

Alas, vacation is over

It's time to get back to writing again. The vacation was excellent. At first, I thought I would keep writing. No, the lake weather and general atmosphere took hold. Now I'm back at my desk, and the keyboard is cold—it's time to get back to clicking.
