I hope she doesn't get a new robot arm, what father wants his child to beat him in arm wrestling at age 12?
You've got nothing to fear.
1) cybernetic limbs will not be stronger than normal ones
2) it won't happen.
This thread was aimed at how we change our perspective, and how a crisis stops the slow change of a wheel turning slowly, and instead has a way of highlighting how petty we get in our day to day lives, and the picture suddenly broadens. It's like someone took the blinders off, and we see so much more of who we are and what we've been doing. It's not a conscious effort, it simply is what it is.
A life-changing event, you might say.
True, we sometimes get bogged down in mundane, stupid things. We need to appreciate eachother more, and not other people for granted.
I for one have learned my lesson - looking back now, I can't recall any person I have grudges with. I burried the hachets with everyone who ever wronged me. Life is too short to spend it on fighting other people.
My family and I very much appreciate the well wishes and prayers, I can't tell you that enough. She is home and the doctors think it is her meds. Klonopin to be specific. When she had her first in this series of seizures, they were already changing her medication, due to the effects of carbotrol after prolonged use. Anyway, the Klonopin was supposed to keep her calm, along with Lamictal for seizures. The bright side is, her shunt is fine and she doesn't have to go through another brain surgery. She's at home and yelling about not being able to go school, so things are again going back to normal, I hope it lasts this time. I escape at work, her mother stayed in the hospital every time with her, no escape. It's wearing her out, to say the very least.
I undersand your concenrs.
My sisters little daughter also pulled trough several life-threatening situation. Come to think about it, half my family did actually.
It drains one..emotionally.
