CAN DO!

I’M writing this story because people often say " well, I’M tired of people always griping about things they can’t do anymore, since they’ve become disabled, or handicapped, however you want to put it. If I didn’t talk about what I CAN’T do, why I’D have nothing to say. And since, people are always getting after me for not saying much, AND I DO like to talk a lot, I’D just rather not talk about anything at all rather than talk about what I CAN do. Well, let’s see I could make a list of what I CAN DO, and then, we’ll see if realistically there’s anything to discuss. 1. I can watch. 2. I CAN ride, in a car, preferably. 3. I CAN make love, preferably, only to my wife. 4. I CAN talk, not clearly always, but, usually I CAN talk, more than some like. 5. I CAN sing, sort of. I’M not always on key, but, closer than most. 6. I CAN praise my kids, I don’t do this as much as I should. Don’t know why they’re the BEST kids, I won’t try to make any excuses. For some strange unexplainable reason I’VE treated my son, especially, like crap even though, I apparently saved him from getting a TBI like me. Oh, that’s right, maybe left, I was trying to list all the things I CAN do. It’d be easier for me to list the things I CAN’T do. As those things are constantly on my mind . However, I’M gonna try to keep this particular story on positive note. If I can. And judging by the length of that list, it doesn’t look like very much I can do. However, you might say those are plenty, they’re even the best things anybody could want to do. And I’D agree with you those things are only SOME of the things I used to be able to do. I guess if I really had a bone to pick with having survived a TBI, then it would be that I should make this a list of what I’D LIKE to be able to do. Because don’t get me wrong I’D LIKE to be able to do the things I CAN’T do, plus the things I CAN do.
