1970 Holden Estrogen

Since getting my car back on the road, the only other people to have driven it have been female, [livejournal.com profile] shazgirl and [livejournal.com profile] tikiwanderer. [livejournal.com profile] hespa will be the third.

All women of differing talents and strengths, all of whom I admire and care about, all people I trust. And all of them will have crossed the Nullarbor with me.

It's kind of nice.

Hey, Grant told me that you finally got diagnosed with something. Isn't it a relief when it happens?!? Yours sounds really cool, though. I'll tell you now, you get so much respect when you have something wrong with your brain and you're still alive and functioning ;)

I'm going to get respect now? Weird!

Labyrinthine Disorder, brought about thanks to a two week long Basilar Migraine damaging my brain in the same way as a mini-stroke.

Very cool, now I have the merest hint of what it's like to have a stroke! It's not nice, and I highly recommend avoiding it.

However it is very nice to know what's going on. Now to see if I can actually get my body to relearn enough to get back to where I was :)

We gunna catch up while I'm in town? *huge friggin' hint*

It is weird experiencing things that no one can possibly understand unless they have it too. And as for getting your body to relearn stuff, it is possible. I pretty much had to learn how to walk again, with much help from a neurological physiotherapist. You basically train your body to control what your brain is failing to. But we can talk about that, and other stuff of course, when we catch up! :D
