I've Noticed A Couple Things

First of all, I would like to start out by saying that I had a head injury about two months ago. I currentlly have P.C.S. (Post Concussive Syndrome). For those of you who don't know what P.C.S. is, within a few days or couple months after a head trauma, (concussion, for example) some people display either synptoms that were there at the time the concussion occured, or their symptoms start surfacing. This is not a common issue, and of people that have reported a concussion, 15% get P.C.S. what is more rare, of those 15%, very few percentage get what I have. Speech impediment. (approx. 1%) 

  I started about 3 days after my head injury, and it has continued the same, with no change, sometimes my pain is worse than other days. I do not take any pain killer for my pain, because I don't want to become dependant on pain killers. I do take a Tylenol from time to time. 

One of my frustrations with this syndrome I  have is my speech. It is my mountain to climb presently. I get impatient with myself or the situation I am in because I can not express myself like I could before this. I also get more confused, irritated when I am confused, am more reclusive because of my speech, etc etc etc. 

  One thing I have noticed are the reactions I get from human adults with relation to my speech impediment. 

I am actually shocked, to be honest with you, as I thought that our society, with how we have so many "Awarenesses" out there, that people would be less ignorant for a lack of better words. 

Adults are strange this way. They feel like they always have something important to say, when they don't and they feel ike they have to have a quick come back for anything. 

People who are ignorant and self taught, are the people who have never known me. They don't know that I am pretty intelligent, have travelled the world, lived in 6-7 countries, have been on 4 continents, lived on 2 Islands, and speak more than 3 languages, and have a degree in Real Estate Law, and Contractual Reading. Oh well. I have digressed. 

   I was at a University going to a class last month when I apporached the door. A volunteer for the campus greeted me. I answered her. The morning was cold and I was warm, however, the woman who was significantly my senoir, upon answering her, laughed and said, "Sounds to me like someone is cold." I did not look at her, nor did I answer her. I would have, and I would have engaged her in a conversaion about speech impediments and manners, but why? What's the point? The point would have probably helped a child or teenager who she might cross a path with and helped her refrain from being a jerk? Or would she? Either way, I had no time to respond. However, since then I have. 

The second type of human adult, who is a bit worse than the aforementioned adult, would be the person or (individuals) whom I have known most of my life, or at least for the past 6 years or more. 

These human adults are worse because they know me and know that I had in the past, a speech impediment, but since my accident, I have a worse or more profound one. In the past when I stuttered as a girl, I checked out a text book from the Library, that taught speech therapists how to give children with impedes therapy helping them with speech. I read them when I was in 5th-6th Grade, and I know what the techiniques are to helping them speak. 

So, knowing that I have have had a slight stutter, something I have been with, because in emotional situations for they they come back, why would someone act as though they are "Calling you out" as though I am pretending that I am faking this issue of mine. Why would I go through such great lengths (even as far as getting an appointment with a neurologist of this magnitude, when there are only 4 in the U.S.A. that specializes in my condition?) Why would I do that? 

Those people are odd to me. They also must have their own garbage they are sortinig out, and find need to gossip about me? 

The third kind of person is the Jerks. 

They have not known me long, but knew me before the accident, and have had a repore with me. They want to come around me as one person put it "Just to laugh at my speech impediment," and ask me to "say something, like..." Just to laugh at me. I have another word for those kind of persons or people, who are not a lot, but as I am above thoem, I shall not say the word (Also because I don't want teenagers eyes to see the word) 

   I will say this. I have noticed another type of person in this. My family (husband), my true friends and kind strangers have been good. They have shown me kindness, patience, and sympathy towards my speech impede. 

Well, this is an observation, and something I wanted dto openly share.    

Be kind, readers! 

Is Your Pixma MG3220 Giving You a Headache?

Mine has been for the last couple of months.
 I have the same Samsung I came from Turkey with that my husband bought me. My Pixma has been used for documents I need to bring my husband here. I have come to need more documents and over the last few months, I have gotten lots of errors. One has been E03, (paper jammed) or There is no paper in your tray, etc. 
  The, first thing I did (my Samsung doesn't have a DVD, readers... for those of you not familiar, DVD drives are going to be outdated in a couple of years, and my husabnd and I have been speculating this since 2013, that by 2020 or sooner, DVD drives will be a thing of a past... Hey, with TB drives out there, who wants a DVD drive?...) I am not here to debate that today, though... Anyway. I went onto Canon webpage, (see, you don't need a DVD for that) and found the latest update matching my Model and Number of my Canon Printer.
Next, I made sure I had my wifi set and connected to the printer and computer. It all went well. But it would not print. I tried everything. I called the Canon Tech support and he walked me through a couple of things. 
He could not figure it out either.So we hung up.  One of the things I noticed, at first, it wasn't grabbing my paper with the rubber rollers. So,(after turning the printer off)  I took electronic cleaner (a can of air, and a skinny straw attached: You can buy it in any eletronic sections in stores. Or Office Max or Staples) I then sprayed it, opened the back, sprayed it again. 
Then I pressed the button with the screw driver and wrench next to it (next to my scan button) And I pressed it until I saw the "6". Then I ran different weights of paper through it. It works as good as new.

If you want to know what all the E- Codes mean to your Pixma 3220,CLICK HERE FOR HELP WITH YOUR CANON PIIXMA MG3220 and follow the directions. Or type the E- Code in Google with your Make and Model of your Printer, and will bring it up. 

On Mother

Because I can not have written more eloquently, I have to just quote Kahlil Gibran instead:
     
     "The most beautiful word on hte lips of mankind is the word, "Mother", and the most beautiful call is the call of "My Mother". It is a word full of hope, and love, a sweet and kind word coming from the depths of the heart. The mother is everything - She is our consulation in sorrow, our hope in misery, and our strength in weakness. She is hte source of love, mercy, and forgiveness...

    Everything in nature bespeaks the mother. The sun is the mother of earth and it gives it it's nourishment of heart, it never leaves the universe at night until it has put the earth to sleep to the song of the sea, and the hymn of the birds and brooks. And this earth is the mother of trees and flowers. It produces them, nurses them, and weans them. The trees and flowers become kind mothers of their great fruits and seeds. And the mother, hte prototype of all existence, is the eternal spirit, full of beauty and love."

Happy Mother's Day to all you women out there who read my blog. Every woman is a mother in one way or another. 

Just What I need:: Good News

You read the title right. 
In order to get my husband here (Long Rock) I have had to go through quite a bit. Well, I paid all the necessary things I needed to pay for, and I then spoke with an N.S.C. agent. He thinks because of my condition, I have a good possibility of bringing my husband here. I am really happy about that. So I have some extra form to fill out, which bring me to another good news. 
   I was accepted to see a Doctor who is a neurologist at UofU Medical Center. I am really happy baout this as there are only four in the U.S.A. with this knowledge of my problem, and I am happy to be close enough to be able to get in. I am really happy. I think it might take another few weeks when I get the appointment. But of all the neurological conditions, this Neurologist only take 20% of the paitents that are requested. To visit him. So, of all the people that are reported to have a concussion, 15% of those people suffer with PCS (Post Concussive Syndrome) of those 15% only about 1% are deeply effected by speech, continuing concussion symptoms, etc etc. My head was hit on the cerebral cortex (left side). So, that is where emotions, speech, body tempurature, and parts of speech is located. I hope this gets taken care of soon. By the by, I have been on the computer for 15 minutes, and my head is hurting again. I will have to do an update later.
To all my readers out there, Take care of your selves and I will update some more on what is going on in Turkey, my husband coming and anything else.
