Category: 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
(Indigo – Sam Barber ft. Avery Anna)
Clipped Wings
I can only do
Short flights &
Gentle landings
(Waiting On The World – Bob Moses)
Whiplash
“My struts are screaming
I don’t know what I did or
If it’s from increased load
But I must say this means
That I am getting better
Otherwise – I’m fu**ed.”
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.”
Lag Time
“It has been highly vexing how stuck I have felt – prevented from moving forward on projects.
Yet suddenly, projects are at last completing, and I am beginning to feel a bit set free from the mire!”
(Schism – TOOL)
Repost – when it’s good, it’s good.
Momentum
“Becomes key is generating propulsion progress with any masking for perceived smoothness.
‘Gee – she’s got a peppy step!'”
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?”
I’M FIIIINNEE!!!
“So far, torn disc and torn joints with neurological cascade causing muscles to turn on and off and a foot intermittently collapsing.
I think they call this ‘Progress'”
A New Numb
“There is a new spot of numbness…mri’s again, soon.”
(Parody on “a new norm”)
Morph
“No matter how I grapple with it, it is disconcerting to see my body differently shaped now since the accident.
This is not age progression.
I guess bracing through limbs to take on tons of accelerated force can cause one to bulk up around joints and throughout fascia in response!”
Shame
“It makes no sense that I should feel ‘less than’ because I am struggling to regain traction after injuries.”
Giving
“It sucks when the reward is pain.”
Loosey-Goosey
“Increasing client load is degrading structure while attempting to embody capability.”
Getting Back Into Alignment
“Attempting to heal these injuries has been difficult due to loosened, twisted, and adhesed connections.
My best hope for recovery seems to be time, unraveling locked down torque ateas, and remobilizing.”
Like A Stick Shift
“I keep trying to get my hip to unstick.”
Pain’s Haze
“What would it be like to feel good?”
Distress
“With increased work, my joints are further destabilizing.”
Abacadabra!
“There used to be two incomes for the house before the accident, so now with injuries still recovering I must pull even more rabbits out of the hat.
I guess that’s why they call it ‘magic.'”
Cupping
“I am beginning to target zones to see if I can reactivate and smooth what looks like adipose tissue – but is really zones of trauma to fascia from the accident.”
(Tether Me – Galleaux)
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.”
Just Make It
STOP!
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.”

Moments Of Reckoning
“My fingers are finding ways to grip again in order to twist off a sealed bottle cap.”
Forging New Pathways
“If this fragmented existence is all that I can access, then I better figure out how to design new benefits.”
Hmm
“I’ve been using a machine before my workouts that helped to relax my spine, thereby giving me a sense of being able to work from the core outward.
But I am noticing today that having not done that machine first, my walking gait is better at the end if this day.”
Core Issues
“I’ve been cautious about working on my abdomen, having its distension and internal bulgings and dispacements from the impact.
It’s been frightening to be in a state of blasted torsion after taking on forces greater than the human body is designed for.”
So Fu**ed Up
“Every day, I awaken to another version of overwhelm, and ask myself why.
Because at this point in my life, I should be capitalizing on all prior years’ struggles into now’s triumphant progress.
But spinal injury doesn’t give a fu**.”
Chirp!
The Issue Of Trying To Advance
“As I attempt to strengthen weak zones around my shoulder and hip joints, this is increasing imbalanced pully tension on my destabilized neck and spine misalignments, causing a new type of numbness in a coursing line in segments of my face, hand, and foot muscles.
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?!”
Benefits Of Isolationism
“Nobody startles or jumps when I suddenly cry out in pain from an injured mistep.”
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.”
30 Days
“I can’t help but find it wryly laughable that I must meet the mark by end of May, when my body is still experiencing reinjury destabilization in striving to.
I’m only able to inconsistently meet a minimal portion of trying to reclaim once greater target cabilities.”
Carefully Unwrapping
“The difficulty is that where things are stuck, they keep holding for a reason…and I am not sure yet what is safe to remobilize.”
Revelations
“A thigh’s fear tries to tell me with courage that while it is the inner anterior joint surface that gave way, something along the lateral IT band took the hard hit, as well, which may still be affecting the torsion.”
Revelations
Hard-shock, sudden bracing against impact caused shoulders, hips, knees, feet, spinal, and neck joint articulation zones to flange outward incorrectly and freeze like ripped scar tissue.
Unwinding
“Trying to untwist my thigh injury while on the boarder of falling asleep yielded a little bit at last due to PT exercising”
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.
(Take A Minute – Elderbrook)
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
Progress
“The pain in my legs is excriciatingly unbearable since I’ve begun the new physical therapy exercises.
However, since the work causes stuck muscles to spasm even tighter, there is hope that it is safer to begin differentiating the scar tissued fibers.”
(You Shook Me All Night Long – AC/DC)
Conjuring
“Attempting erratic energy pulses trying to blast back open once-functional pathways.”
Excitement
More physical therapy exercises that are applying!!!
