It's not even remotely the same, but AI pisses me off by trying to pass itself off as reality. I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to have your own brain doing it. My Mom had a small stroke. The only really noticeable thing was her writing. It was super small, so she'd have to imagine she was writing hugely for it to be legible and it always got smaller as she went. Our brains are both amazing and terrifying... thank you for sharing this. It's helpful for those of us who haven't experienced a stroke first hand, but I can only imagine that it would be even more so for those who have.

Thanks, Lisa… I’m sorry to hear about your mom. It’s very bizarre to live through and experience and also often extremely frustrating and puzzling for loved ones to observe. BTW- I completely agree with you about AI.

I agree completely with Lisa’s comment … when one has not actually experienced this … we can only imagine what it might be like! However … your putting this experience so plainly into words truly helps us Know Better what you went through!! How Very Overwhelming and Absolutely Frustrating it was!!! I would have been screaming 4 letter Very Naughty Words!!! You know me and my mouth! 🙄🫣🤭😬

Once again Thank You for sharing this with us!!! 🙏🏻😉☺️💗💞💗💫

Thank you, my friend. I’m so glad that you’re reading my work and that it’s having an impact on you.

YES!! It is most definitely having a Big Impact on me … and I think more about how much I complain about my age and all the things I cannot do like I use to!!! OMG I Do NOT have Anything to complain about!!! Talk about being Aware and Opening one’s Eyes 👀 … to Reality that things could be so much more difficult. 🤨 We should Not take Anything nor Anyone for granted!

Ya know what I mean? 🙏🏻💞☺️💫
