Quinn Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 Hello! I was on this forum for a couple years as dtrpath. I'm not sure if anyone from a few years back remembers. Anyway, a lot has changed since then. Shortly after the last time I posted, I had a traumatic brain injury. With that, I lost the ability to read books -- really to read and understand anything beyond the shortest, most basic text. All writing was done with the help of predictive text. So, after a year or so, I finally was able to read a book again, but it was so arduous that my love of reading was gone. It's now almost three years since my injury, and I've found that I can enjoy and understand in small doses. I recently remembered this group (a lot of memories are gone or intermittently recovered) and I am happy to see that it is still here! I probably will never be as active as I once was, but I look forward to finding out what has happened in the world of books that I missed during my injury and recovery. Happy reading! Quinn Quote
Athena Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 Hey Quinn! I remember you ! It's good to 'see' you again . I'm so sorry about your traumatic brain injury . I'm glad you're doing a bit better since then. The forum has changed owners and some people have left. I too am happy it is still here. I hope to see you around the forum, xx Gaia Quote

Quinn Posted August 18, 2019 Author Posted August 18, 2019 Hi!!! Thank you for the welcome! I remember both of you, too! I see some familiar names are still here. I joined the Facebook group as well just to see what's new. Some things have changed, some see the same. It's good to be back! Quote

itsmeagain Posted August 18, 2019 Posted August 18, 2019 Hi Quinn. I recall dtrpath. So sorry to hear about your injury. Welcome back. You don't see Pontalba Chesilbeach Chaliepud now, rarely see Nollaig. Still a good forum and the people are really nice. Quote

It's wonderful to see that you're still around. Thank you for the virtual bouquet. I have found some interesting changes, particularly in art and writing. If I recall correctly (quite possibly, I won't), don't you write? Quote
