Hello everyone!

  LOL, I bet that title will get some responses, but what I mean by virgin blogger is that this is my first time ever in my entire life posting a blog. So my curiosity got to me and now here I am! 

  My life right now is actually going really well. If you have seen my profile you're aware that I am 42 years, old. But some things that I didn't mention are that I am a recovering addict, and that I have epilepsy. Well I have 3 years + clean/sober , though my epilepsy has been a different story. Around a year and a half ago I had a Grand-Mal seizure that was killing me and so as a result they had to put me in a medically induced coma for 7 days until it stopped.  Well needless to say it really rocked my world and afterwards I was diagnosed with Expressive/Aphasia and Communicative/Disorder, both of which bothered me greately because I have always had an above average IQ and have fancied myself as an intelligent person with good communication skills. I love to hear myself talk! :) But I found myself in a situation that I could not express myself. It wasn't that I didn't know what to, or what I wanted to say, it was that I had a great amount of difficulty accessing the words to actually say it. Sort of like a computer that is locked up. It has the information, it just can't access it.

  So blah, blah, blah, through a great amount of reading, persistance and a great amount of grace, I have made huge progress in my recovery back to my original state of mind. So besides the fact that at the present time I live off of less than $400 dollars a month, and am dependant upon the state for help with food and medical care. I am on my way back to independance and have a good attitude towards life and the future.

Oh yeah and Monday, I start college for the first time in my life. I'm going to be studying for my A.A. degree in Humanities.

That's part of me. Like I said I have no Idea what or why I'm doing this, but that is part of what makes it fun. A new adventure!
