Determination
music-rap, country, r & r
r & b, Spanish,
Determination: B.B. and I love each other as friends. I would like to live on my own. It would be very hard.
Alive: DS. You do things that... I walk, I don't know. AW. When I was in the hospital they told my parents that I would be a vegetable. So I feel fortunate to be alive, as well as I am. TH. I feel great to be alive b/c this is a certain level of life that I am going to take advantage of best I can. And I feel lucky that I got a second chance at it. BB. I'm glad I'm alive. Don't remember anything about my wreck or being in the hospital. I was 27. I don't remember anything until 35. Even now I don't remember what happened yesterday. Strange. It was Thursday. I don't know.
Angels: AW. There must have been Angels watching over me because one person died, but I didn't. There must be Angels helping me get better. B.B. she's an angel. AW. AW. That what my boyfriend calls me. B.B. I love Angel Ann, she's my best friend. A pretty smile, gorgeous.
Freedom: Even though I hurt, I feel more freedom now. AW. Now I can't drive. I can't go wherever I want anymore. I feel limited to what I can do. DS. You got to be able to live by yourself. If it was 10 years ago before I got hurt, I got hit. Today, I don't have the old-fashioned freedom.
Strange: B.B. I feel strange. My whole body. My hands don't work, my legs don't work, my mind is gone. I have to work on it. With some help b/c I can't do it by myself. My name is Bob Brave but I'm scared. I don't like to say it. Never been so honest. Never said I was scared. AW. I'm scared too. I'm worried about what will happen to me. Being scared is a whole other thing than strange.
Become totally pissed off. B.B. Pissed off. Because I can't work. I don't know. My memory is gone. DS. I'm not really pissed off. Just woke up every day and just basically... Saturday, Sunday, whatever day. Emotions are here but, I just don't get pissed off.
Determined: TH. I just-- I'm in a rough position now after the accident. I am going to get better. Because I have to live a full life. AW. Well, I try to be determined in everything I do. I don't know--I know that I can not do what I always planned on doing. I was going to be a flight attendant. I love learning foreign languages.
My life sucks! B.B. because I'm not the way I used to be. I try to walk quite a bit, and it's still very hard because somebody has to walk with me. I have fallen a couple of times. It hurts! Bummer. DS. My life is good.
Personalities: TH. Personalities are a key figure in every person's ability to coexist in this world. And I'm proud to be an American with my personality. Because I feel like I am very free. I know I have a ultra-free-loving personality. I love people until they piss me off. A.W. I feel like I have change, I am not the same person that I was. I like my personality but I'm not where I wanted to be. I have accepted the way I am. B.B.I don't know anything about personalities right now. A lot of my personality is bad lately. I get mad at other people to easily. I don't like it. Because I love people, it helps me stay alive. I don't know why. TH. If you love people you definitely helps everyone stay alive. Yourself and other people. A.W. Yeah. TH. I think love is much deeper than friendship. I don't really know how to explain it, but it is definitely. More important to people than simple friendship. A.W. What is meant is that all my brothers are my friends. I love them all like my
good friends (Re: Love) T.H. Loving yourself is something that is very important for us to grow up with it. It's important to learn to love ourselves in our adult life.
Challenges: T.H. Challenges to me are what makes a person. If we can accept challenges it makes us proud to be who we are. So therefore we could or should love ourselves. A.W. If you love yourself then you believe in yourself. That's how you keep going. B.B. Everyday is a challenge. My exercises in the morning, walks twice a day after breakfast, exercises at 9:00. Eat a few good meals. A few years ago I didn't eat very much. I got full too fast. But I said I didn't want it. But now I'm eating good meals, three good meals. I'm gaining weight. That's cool--I've got roly-poly.
... but weak. B.B. I feel weak. My hands don't work, my legs don't work. My head don't work. My brain. I don't know how to use it. I can use my brain with a lot of help. My eyes help me. My mom at home helps me.
Frustrated: A.W. I am frustrated when I keep doing all of my therapy and I can't see any progress. It has been 11 years. I believe I have gotten better but I can see that some things are the same.
A strange question: at 10 years, I'm gonna be pushing at the level you're at it. I've been 4, but it feels like 20. J. Since my injury it's been a year and a half and a month. I've been making so much improvement.
Tired: A.W. Now I am always tired. I yawn a lot. Even when I'm not tired.
Alive: MD. I'm so happy to be alive and kicking. It sure beats the hell out of being dead. It feels real to be alive. J.M. Being alive does trigger me up. It means I am different. I love being alive. You have to realize I started my life a year and 7 months ago. Every week that has passed since that time, I have noted how much God loves me. M.C. Difficult times. Every day is different. You don't know what tomorrow is going to bring you. So wait and see. Handle it when it gets here. It's a great way to breathe for you. MD. When I was in the hospital they turned the machine off than I woke up. I'm not ready to go yet.
Different:
Angel: J. Angels are God blessing creatures out there. Because I know for a fact Angels exist, therefore I know for a fact God exist.

tons of it. I honestly do believe that my desire today is much greater than it used to be. Because I'm going to be someone who I like. But I just need to get a total amount of control and understanding of my desire. I honestly do believe, I swear, everyone who goes through what I went through needs to develop or get a clearer or substantial sense of desire. A.M. I had plans and desires before the accident but now, I have different ones. Improve my speech and my walking and my hand. J.
I desire to walk without practice, walking device, or wheelchair which doctors said would last over two years. So I was able to walk without crutches less than six months after I was injured. Desire made is better. Desiring better health. B.B.
I desire not to eat my veggies. I would like to get a job. Meet my old friends again. I can remember my friends. My old memory is good. My short memory is no good. D.
Desire is having a place of your own. I want a home to live in. Pissed off: just mad at whatever pissed you off. M. I'm never pissed off. Only if somebody tries to piss me off. Why me? M. Why am I here? The home. I have so much going for me at home. B.B. Why me? I don't know. TH. Definitely do wonder. Why me? But, I do understand that I am a human being just like everybody else. But I don't understand why and I didn't know if anyone else does. D. Why me? Why me? I don't know. A.W. I used to always ask that, but now I have accepted it. Preference to be able to walk, talk, remember properly: J. I would just like to be able to do all three. To have a memory that will actually work, to be able to speak properly. To walk properly would be nice. I can't do any of these three things. That's true. I remember when I could of. I could remember, I just could not speak. That's why these preferences mean a lot to me: to walk properly, to walk, full knowledge that what I say is true. And to remember properly. B.B.
I want to be able to. I try everyday to walk, talk and think. I used to sing in a rock-and-roll band. Very hard.
The power of suggestion: M. Bedtime. I would like to do all of it course. Walk, talk and remember everything. Yes, everything. Remember tomorrow, a week, a month from now, a year or 10 years even. I want to remember forever in my mind. I just, I am moving out in a week or so. This place, Terry home, was the best place I've been in since my injury. I really do like all of you. I like everyone who works here. I like the fact that you would come here to work with us and for us. Both of these! (Peace sign)
(Word): I feel like I'm the only one walking in with my cane. I feel different than everyone else. I feel different because I don't have a job, I don't have my own family. Most of the people my age have a family and a job. T.N. I can relate. My life is full of boredom, jobless, sit on the couch and watch TV. I am a skin covered skeleton. I used to have a body, but it all went out my poop. Shoot. I am not too smart/Wise in the education race. I don't know what the hell to do for a living. I don't feel different. TH. I'm different than I was because now I don't smoke cigarettes for one thing. And I am full educated now too, I wasn't before my accident. My physical abilities are lacking big-time. Yes. And I don't have any money that I made for myself. The left side of my body is affected. The right side of my body is totally normal. I don't have a job. Or any responsibilities other than myself. I think I'm different because I am living and people who went through what I went through are dead. B.B. I feel different. I used to be a (word)
drum player, play guitar and a singer in a rock-and-roll band. I can't play guitar no more. I can't sing, my voice is gone. I have to talk very slow. I am stuck in a wheelchair. I was walking with a walker. Somebody has to walk with me otherwise I will fall. When my dad was alive I walked in the house. Only time in a wheelchair is when I went somewhere. When he died, I died. No more friends. All my friends are in California. Friends in Washington from my high school, like 20 years ago. I don't know where they are. My memory is not--it's gone. I don't remember yesterday. Today is Friday. DS. I don't know that I am different. I feel different than I was before. There is supposed to be somebody here 24 hours a day, awake. Where I was living before I could wake up anytime, if you wanted to. They had the old people, 89 years old. 80-90, I was in an old folks home. I now live with a small amount of people.
Freedom: TH. I feel like I am very free. Freedom is taken a hold of my life to the max. And I believe it's taken a hold of other people who I live with also.
