Graham and Sandra: Viral Encephalitis Lived Experience

[@margaretsparksrittenhouse8787]

I had a Christmas present of HSV1 encephalitis myself, just three months ago. I am fully recovered and lucky to have lost very little of myself, my only problems are understanding spoken language under certain circumstances, tiredness that comes on like a door being shut, and a bit of slowness where I was once quick. I am so grateful for all who have helped me, my husband in particular. He was quick acting when I had my seizure and was my advocate while I was out of it in the hospital. Bless you Graham for taking such good care of Sandra.

I do understand. I had Encephalitis about 25 years ago. During the time of my recover I had it a second time.

This is a poem I thought and did create when I graduated from "Trasitional Learning Comunity" in Galveston Texas.
