Yes, We Can II

This morning, my dad took off my deodorant cap, to assist me, and I said, "I can do that." This made think of a blog entry.  If I always claimed to not have the ability to do things, I would still remain in inpatient, right now.  Nothing ever gets accomplished by sitting on one's ass.  Too often, a  person says "I can't" when he or she can.  He or she just has difficulty in accomplishing the task, currently, but that doesn't mean he or she can't do it.  My home physical therapist always tells me I can do things, I just have difficulty doing them, currently.  I need assistance walking, right now, but the doesn't mean I will always need assistance walking.  One day, I will run, again.  Sometimes, we don't give ourselves enough  credit.  Some people decide to give up too quickly.  My speech therapist tells me I give up too quickly, instead of sticking with the problem.  When I attempt something that seems impossible, at first, I promptly quit.  When my speech therapist convinces me to not give up, I end up solving the problem, and solving a problem feels a lot better than quitting.  Often times, if you want to quit at first, stick with it, and you might solve something you didn't think you could solve, originally.  When I couldn't talk, I would feel bad for myself, and I would type to my speech therapist I would never talk.  Now, when I visit her, and talk to her, she grins, and says, "I knew you could talk."  I have come a long way since my coma.  I would start listing the accomplishments since March 9th, but listing the accomplishments would take too much time out of my day.
