Support for Courtney in a new setting...

This is now a blog in 1st person. I have recently been struck by a need to tell my own story. My story detailing the first year or two of my progress can be found under support for courtney on blogger. Basically, I have an anoxic brain injury from a cardiac arrest. In 12minutes, or so, I went from being a healthy, active young woman to non functional human-being on life support. I realize far I've come, but it is such a treacherously slow and painstaking process.

I'Vve been told I should start looking for cashier jobs at box stores. I am feeling as though nothing I did prior to my injury counts, as I am consistently told I need to accept who I am now. I just end up stuck in a system. I remember, when I first got out of the hospital I swore to myself T I would not let myself end up in a system I could'nt find my way out of. Yet, here I am tying my angst into a void.
I've been working on this entry for a wile, as I'm not sure I appreciate the tone I'm setting, though it will most likely change entry to entry.
