I have a brain injury and memory issues from having been resuscitated after I died. I had three sudden cardiac arrests in 2012 from an undiagnosed sudden arrythmia death syndrome called long qt. The lack of oxygen has created many issues. oh no! That's horrible! But I have to ask, does this change the way you scrapbook or decide what to scrapbook? And did you scrapbook before? If yes, did it help to see these. |

I like to eat raw lemons with Lawry's season salt on them. Mmm... Oh, and I drink pickle juice straight outta the jar.

The lack of oxygen has created many issues. oh no! That's horrible! But I have to ask, does this change the way you scrapbook or decide what to scrapbook? And did you scrapbook before? If yes, did it help to see these. I was a huge Scrapbooker, journaller, story teller. Stuff that was scrapped pre-sudden cardiac arrest was great to look at. But bittersweet too. I lost almost three years of memories, some stuff I'd scrapped I had no memories of, I found it extremely frustrating. I could see our trip to Hawaii, I could read about our trip, but nothing, not even déjà vue. in 2009&2010 I was one of the first to jump on the bandwagon of Project 365 and then Project Life. Seeing the small day to day stuff of two years I couldn't remember was gut wrenching. I just couldn't absorb it. Now I appreciate, glad I did it, and wish I had even more years done in that style. I have a bad shake, my photography now sucks, I shake too much to easily cut things to scrap, and to stamp is next to impossible. I can't do detail in digital scrapping. The project life app gave me back my creative outlet. I can scrap, tell the stories, and preserve. Im im very glad I have the books I'd already completed, my advice to everyone is to get the story down because you aren't always going to remember. Dates, times, who, where, it fades for everyone at some point in time. I wish I had more done, even if it had been very simple. It's the story that counts. |

theshyone I can't even imagine what it must be like to read about a life you no longer remember. What a heartbreaking way to learn the value of what we do.

I just hand-fed grapes to 3 different types of fruit eating birds and seed bread with a bit of meal on top to the hadedas. To be fair, it is winter and food is scarce.

theshyone I can't even imagine what it must be like to read about a life you no longer remember. What a heartbreaking way to learn the value of what we do. At different stages of my recovery and the passage of time (3 years this month), has had me run the full spectrum of emotions. Anger, frustration, bitterness, wonderment, amazement. Pretty much the degrees of grief people go through. I'm alive, I get the chance to make new memories, for that I'm thankful. |

Years ago, my sister and her husband primarily used a wood stove to heat their house so we used to go into the woods and cut down trees and cut them up and haul them out of the woods. One day a couple of his grandchildren were there and oblivious to what was happening and didn't hear the safety shout before the final cut on one of the trees. Falling tree was sure to hit the one kid, who didn't respond to shouts, I ran and grabbed her just before she would have gotten squished. I am grateful that I was there.

I've shaken hands with Harrison Ford, and he's very handsome!  (On a side-note, I've lived in 17 states and Italy, and attended 13 different schools. Military brat and wife life!) |

I changed schools 13 times between kindergarten and sixth grade.....stayed at the same school for grades 7-12. I passed out on the swings at the fair when I was 17. Thank the Lord for the bar that comes up between your legs.....saved me from sliding out. They had to stop them to get me off....my mom thought I had died. Not sure what happened but to this day, I am 44, I can't ride anything that goes round and round.

I've been checking I with the HH threads all weekend, and this is the first time I've seen this one! Here's mine — I too am an Air Force veteran. I was a medical illustrator and graphic artist, stationed in Texas and Germany in the 80s. I call myself a Cold War veteran.  |

Theshyone, I'm sending you hugs. Thank you for the reminder that we don't know how long we have here, nor how long things will remain the same with our health. So glad you are still here to be with us.
I hitchhiked from Mexico City to Acapulco....twice back in the 60's. That's one of the things you don't tell your mother for many, many years...or never.

Thank you so much for sharing this with me/us. I can't even imagine. But I'm very glad that you are with us!! And thankful that you have your outlet!

Uh, no, I haven't scrapped it. It scares me to think of it now that I'm a mother and grandmother. 18 year olds don't have brains that work properly, I'm afraid. In my defense I was with 3 other "older" girls who were 19. We rode in the back of a lot of pick-ups and chicken buses. I lost my camera while I was there so don't have photos, but I could at least write it up. Thanks for the reminder. |
