Denying the Effects

This entry is part 19 of 20 in the series Aneurysm

Yesterday I got a notice that my neurosurgeon is sponsoring a Cerebral Aneurysm Support Group meeting…tonight. I’m bummed that they’ve started this group after I left LA. The extent of my bummedness tells me that things are amiss with my psyche. I know I’ve written about this before, but I don’t think I ever allow enough credit to myself for what the aneurysm did to me and how it changed my life. I have always been so focused on getting back to “normal” (whatever that is!) that I ignore or deny or disregard feelings that maybe I should be more focused on.

I started to write about this yesterday and when it threatened to become a drippy drooly post, I erased it. But then I read Dooce’s post today on her continuing depression and I thought–shit, if I’m going to get drippy drooly, at least I won’t be alone.
