In the 13 years since I first joined WdC my life is entirely different - or atleast my awareness of what has always made me 'unique', 'strange', 'odd', 'different' and all the other descriptors I love and cherish. I have a severe & fatal brain injury TBI/CTE(think Combat Veteran). I also have a deteriorating spine(DDS); FAS and due to dad's Vietnam experience a genetic change due to Agent Orange. There is A LOT more to my story. If you followed my fiction story A.T.E.- prepare for a HUGE change to follow. I understand if you decide to skip this - it has changed my life & family. What I can do is share my final 5 years of my life journey.
