Sparrow

Hi, my name is Sparrow.  This is my journey to madness...

In the late 1980's when I was in my twenties, I suffered a Traumatic brain injury..Fast forward to 2008 and I was diagnosed with a Meningeoma Brain Tumor that had developed in the exact place as the brain injury.  Left Frontal Lobe.  In 2009 I underwent Stereotactic Radiation Brain Surgery.  14 beams of radiation shot into the tumor (which was inoperable as it butted up against the Sattual Sinus Vein).  One of those beams of radiation leaked and went off course and poisoned healthy frontal lobe matter...Fast forward 2014, and 6 more tumors were found..all along the frontal lobe.  This is my fucked up story of going from a "normal" mom, wife, grandma...into becoming a person nobody knows anymore...

                                                      She closes her eyes and imagines
                                                      she can fly.
                                                      She watches the road
                                                      stretch out before her.
                                                      She is a bird, chasing the wind..
                                                      Soaring away, from the clouds
                                                      and searching for a place to land.

                                                      She is a SPARROW, so tiny
                                                      against the sky.....
