Imaging

“Re-scans for neck and spine since that backwards fall over and into the open suitcase – and now the other hip – are now ready to be performed.

At this point, though, do I really want to know?

This experience since the accident has carried too deep themes of humiliation and intimidation.

Having to advocate for myself while injured, yet doing all that I can to mask as ‘normal,’ creates an internal dichotomy.

Am I injured, or am I well?

Every moment is a type of phasing between realms, stuck in between and pulled waywardly-twisting over crucial pivot points – painfully, if not vigilantly careful.”

Grace & Coordination

“It’s like every move is a dance coordinating and transferring energy of movement along fine line barely functional tracks passing between muscles willing and able to briefly take the load – but these groups are always shifting.

Who needs external distractions, when there’s a whole internal world to manage and govern?”

For A Moment

“I was able to briefly bolster in such a way to lay on my left side despite shoulder and neck injuries.

My heart could at last rest, instead of being perched high, suspended.

My stomach could cozy against intestines, instead of dangling inside, distended.

And my fingers twitched in REM when awakening from a few minutes’ slumber.

Lack of this positioning might be contributing to insomnia.”

Inflammation

“It has been extreme since the accident.

Today I am trying a new medication for it, simply because I need to gain an edge on this whole thing.

It is supposed to be like Advil and Naproxin, but I already feel it affecting my brain.

If I clearly can’t take pharmaceuticals and marijuana, what hope is there in using CBD?

WTF – do I need herbs and fairy dust to aid me?!”

Unavoidable Impacts

“While it was happening, I would grapple the consequences absorbing into my being from the negative messages and influences.

Everything was about regaining any sense of self afterwards as the blows kept coming to topple any sense of internal balance.

I was determined to not become like any of them – committed to not passing on the infection to further generations.

But the car accident blew apart the partitions behind which the damage from hits were quardened off in me.

And it turns out, there may also be a direct link to a recently-remembered extreme past life trauma that got carried into this life, whereas usually we can at least have separation by time’s generational barriers.”

There’s A Tingling Numbness

“The medical specialist told me that if I had any new symptoms that I should get back to him.

What – like the new dividing, tingling numbness between philanges in my foot that indicate that the lower spine injury you’ve been asserting is not as severe is actually as bad as I’ve been saying?!”

Experimentation

“I am beginning to try adding a few more select machines to my workout routines with the focus of reactivating muscle attachment strength to regain secured joint pliability.

But the response is serious if I ‘get it wrong.’

For example, when in the past I tried quads and hams, the quad portion activated muscles pulling too hard on anterior hip joint tearing = no more quad machine.

Recently, I tried modifying the leg press, including calves, by focusing on smooth alignment stability transference through slow movement up and down.

But this resulted in too much pressure across my knees the next day, which I attempted to counter by adding hams to stabilize the pressure load all around the knees more evenly.

Now I know that if I use the leg press, I need to decrease how low I go and be sure to finish with hams to balance.

Similarly, I tried the free-floating arms pec machine to get at posterior upper rotator cuff weakness from that ttorn muscle deactivation, thinking a little pec activation following would balance.

But while targeting the pec zones to support was a good plan, the followup balancing activation needed for me is actually the bar pressing machine having shoulders pushing upward.”

Poetic Musings, The Accident - As Of 10/10/25 Early AM Named "Clyde" (Short For Collide) Because It's Funny And I Deserve Mirth At Its Expense

I’m Still Here

I don’t like having
To identify with TBI

Or having to carefully tread
To avoid ripping further thigh

It angers me to be relegated to
Thin grip working puppet shints

But even as I’m discoordinated
I’ll pursue aspirations initiated

Back when I could do most things
Because inside, I am still here.

Force Of Habit

Mine is leaning into pain
Fighting needs to scream

As if this resistance
Makes me stronger

Without taking drugs
Or standard escapism

What would you have me do?
Bow down to ripping spasms?

No – I will keep battling through
Tangle-snarls and deep chasms

Because I don’t belong here, you see?
This is temporary insanity’s passing

And memories of a former me
Calling and wailing as evolving

Maybe I am crazy to be striving
When should lay down, let it be

But if I gave in to despair
Then I would lose dreams
