Superheroes get hurt, just like you and me

Today we tried to see Captain America: Civil War for the second time, but tonight we got in to see the movie. I found this movie, as well as the other Marvel movies I have seen, very entertaining.

Good mental health, solved computer problem

I resolved my computer issues today. I went to the store with the intention of looking at computers, looking for the one that best fit my interests, needs, and what I could or was willing to pay. I was scared I wouldn't find anything today, especially since I couldn't spend all day doing this, as … Continue reading Good mental health, solved computer problem

Not a problem, just annoying 

I don't have a working computer since Friday, I have survived thanks to my cellphone and tablet, but it's still hard not having a computer now a days; especially when you have a blog and a new job.

All the support, love, and letters

I couldn't see the support I got from all of you four years ago when I was in a comma; but I have seen it ever since, and I saw it today when my mom told her friends that yesterday was the four year anniversary.

What is it now health insurance?

Everything was going great since we resolved the mess with the Health insurance, or I thought we solved it; but noooo, they want to mess with me again. This time it's not really an emergency because it's just Ritalin, but come on, do they want to keep messing with the TBI patient? Now they say … Continue reading What is it now health insurance?

Lesson learned: don’t leave home without checking you have your medicine 

Tonight I had quite a scare. I was at a school activity with my parents and suddenly I felt dizzy, like something wasn't right. I looked inside my purse for my anti-seizure medicine, the same medicine we had been fighting with the health insurance to let me have. I looked, my mother looked, it wasn't … Continue reading Lesson learned: don’t leave home without checking you have your medicine 

Making my own routine, not easy

I spent all morning looking for some help online to make my own workout routine; this left me at the same place I started, with no idea what I was doing, or how to do it.

Keeping track of my epilepsy: My Seizure Diary

I really didn't keep track of my seizures, my mother did, she shared that information with my neurologist, and that's about all the knowledge I had about my seizures. As I mentioned before, during my countdown for one year seizure free, I know the date and approximate time because of a text to my friends, … Continue reading Keeping track of my epilepsy: My Seizure Diary

Remember, please

These past few weeks I have been taking some tests to check how much I have improved through the year. I have taken these set of tests twice already since the accident, and I haven't really felt very good about my improvement this year.

Personal record braking time in Walgreens 5k

A few hours ago I completed my 6th 5k in a little over three years. It was a great accomplishment for me, not only because it was the sixth, and I did it all by myself, but because I beat my personal record time. If I remember correctly my fastest time had been 50 or 55 … Continue reading Personal record braking time in Walgreens 5k

It’s a bear necessity to watch The Jungle Book

This morning I went to the first showing of The Jungle Book at the movies. The movie was supposed to start at 10:00 a.m. We got there much earlier, even while we got popcorn and drinks, that was my breakfast, we were still the first ones in the theatre. As we waited, the rest of … Continue reading It’s a bear necessity to watch The Jungle Book

We all now he knew how to get people's attention, in his songs, videos, concerts, everywhere.
