Well, Ralph is my online name
I lost my left frontal lobe, 20 years ago in a farm accident, there are no outward signs of disability, l have walked my life since then with a hidden limp, l kept doing as I had done before.
I know a bloke that lives a long way from me who has a head injury that is not apparent, l find it relaxing talking to him, someone who lives the parallel life that l do.
A forum sounds like a none lonely place.
Three things.
1 flying
2 the rolling open paddocks
3 driving

Re: Well, Ralph is my online name
Hi @Ralph and welcome to the forum! You are among friendly folk here and hopefully you also find it helpful and relaxing.
Your three things sound simultaneously peaceful, exciting and inspiring. Do you fly yourself?

Re: Well, Ralph is my online name
That is so great that you are able to fly @Ralph. It's something I'm sure a lot of us would love to do. To respond to a person in a comment, just type the @ symbol and then their name, it should automatically start populating.
If you ever get lost in the forum, you can go back to other parts of the forum by clicking the text above the heading. These are called "breadcrumbs" i.e. marks of where you have gone in your journey. So to go back to "Our stories" just click on that heading and if you want to go back further, click "Lived Experience Forum".
We hope this helps you navigate the forum - sing out if you have any other questions!

Re: Well, Ralph is my online name
Well Ali11, l don’t know how to edit my response, I was just playing with the buttons
above, I am sorry. I am not sure of what to say on this forum but I realise no reference to any place at all, whatsoever.
I am moving into a flat soon. I am building a shed out of second hand bits on my block of land(no hint, of where it is at all). Just had a 4 page report from Neuropsychiatry, better than I thought.
Am I saying the right sort of stuff? I haven’t worked out how to go backwards and see what other people are talking about.
Ralph
