Yeah, I've been doing the lacrosse ball thing too, but still, ask her.

She'll feel useful and I think in the end she'll enjoy it and so will you.

I understand you are strong like bull but even a bull can appreciate a little rubbing. Even if you do it after your lacrosse ball massage.

"Honey, can you do me a favor and rub right here - the ball is hurting and I need relief."

It will do her a world of good to feel useful...and will get her touching you. Baby steps.

^ yup, to all that.

I should try to get her in the kitchen again. We ran into some vertigo problems there but she seems to have overcome that now.

She used to be an event planner and had become a professional illustrator and web designer. Trained actor, dancer, singer, pianist, photographer and enjoyed (and was great at) cooking and baking particularly french. Makes it tough to do any of those things as therapy, because she used to be really great. She's been drawing for hand rehab, and has progressively gotten better. Got her a new piano and she really loves it but it's a struggle to even press any keys with her left hand--meanwhile she can plat whole sections of Chopin one-handed (makes it hard to try for chopsticks, I gather).

She did take to photoshopping some of her old designs and photos and found some sites to turn them into greeting cards, calendars, Tshirts, and coffee cups. She didn't want to sell them but we gave them as gifts and finally sent out Christmas cards again.

Third round DL is on

Fedosienko dominating the class like always

This is good to hear.

Para and quadriplegics go through a similarly tough time rediscovering their purpose, because their functionality is now so limited/altered. But it sounds like she has great skills and expertise and still has her mind such that she can facilitate processes and make contributions, even if she struggles to function in a way comparable to her previous life.

Perhaps if she was doing some sort of service or consulting or volunteering online? She'd be able to perform at her own pace while also knowing she's making a huge difference.

I can give you a personal example. I am deep in the woods. A decision to live or not live almost every day. But I still volunteer for the LGBT Center. For a while, I went in once a week at the front desk. Really simple thing, but sometimes I'd give someone a resource they couldn't find. Like a trans person who encountered multiple doctors that refused to treat them, and so when I would give them the ph# for trans friendly doctors who at least would see and consult them, I could see how something so small made all of the difference to someone else. Sometimes that is what keeps me going. It's a tiny thing for me, but it's everything to the other person. And sometimes that is worth waking up to do.

Mrs Holliday could perhaps do something that seems similarly small and obvious but actually makes a big difference to the recipient... Commenting on someone else playing piano? A little feedback that develops them? Someone else handles the work designing or illustrating but she gives essential feedback in the development process?

Similarly, consultant for those trying to design a website, get into photography, illustration... It might be that while she struggles to do those things anymore, she can still offer her expertise via the internet, perhaps with your assistance?

Just brainstorming. I feel for both of you. If any of this sounds like something to explore, I would be happy to put out feelers in my industry and see if anyone has a place where they could utilize her expertise in some way.

Let me know if I am way off on what might be helpful...

QB, I'll take the under on 100M Trump voters. Way under.

Holliday, good on ya.

Everyone else, happy solstice?

I actually like having jdock around, craziness and all, but you know as well as I do that he's incapable of confining himself to H&F.

With such qualifications she definitely can make herself useful even at a current state of affairs. Clearly it is for her disappointing if she was really good. But I mean... live goes on. It makes no sense to live in the past. With cooking that should be comparatively easy to get to the level she had. If she is good as web-designer...... Etsy is full of poorly designed shops of various artists. And I so agree with BR: if she sees what looks good and what less, she can change life of people to the good just with her advice.

Appreciate the brainstorming but probably a bit beyond her for now. Maybe after the next round of medical tourism.

Hope you keep deciding "live", man.

You've probably relayed a lot of this in your thread and in the LCs, but I don't frequent every single log and I don't think I've seen the detail you've shared here. This has been an eye opening share Holliday. I've got nothing other than I think we all share a bit of man-shame in how you've been able to keep moving forward yourself and take care of a clearly amazing woman.

I think most regs like having jdock around. But yeah, o/u on wandering into other forums set at 6 months at the most.


fakeb,
keep on keeping on.

Settle down bro, his average yards per attempt comes out to 8. That's where that comment comes from, obviously incompletions are zero.

Why don't you contribute some opinion instead?


Do you think your boy is natty?

Wat? His ypa (8.23) was second best in the league last year.

Also I don't think Tom is natty because no athletes are natty, but just seems like a really weird dig on TB12.

Edit: sup loco

That wasn't my point. My point was that here have a sports profession where a specific natural born talent that has been known to go into the 40s, drowns the potential gains from steroid use. But as others have pointed out, maybe he used that one time he was coming off serous injury and all the hits. I don't think it's particularity helpful to recover from throwing short passes once a week. But anyways, whatever's. It's wild opinion. Boomer thinks 20% of players on GH. Some other ex player said 40%. G4S thinks 99% on some type of peds. Nobody cares, it's just opinion and LC discussion.

Cool story bro

The other part of Brady's job where he might take assistance:

More IPF raw worlds in a couple of hours

http://goodlift.ddns.net/live1/onlineside.html

He also needs assistance with his five rangs

IPF worlds again an embarrassment. Unwatchable streams and absolutely nut low commentators. Maybe they won't botch a 400kg spot and cause someone to have a seizure, at least.

I am most pleased with loco's avatar.

Thanks bro. Good work. My first avatar ever.

You mad bro?

Yeah stream not working is terrible, and I do prefer the British guy commentating, but the do it as volunteers, so I can live with them.

Stream usually works and is crisp quality. That money meet in April was a joke, considering the budget.
