So, say Carmen has a stuffed horse (she does), and it has a tear (it does).   I could fix it by stiching the fabric back over the rip.  Or, I could cover the hole with a piece of blue masking tape (which is what I did).

When I signed up at TIRR, I thought we could fix my little post-bleed, post-AVM glitches and make me just like new.  I thought I found out today there’s no quick whipstich, just a little masking tape called “coping skills.”

I’m supposed to accept the glitches and work with them, instead of against them.

I can do that, but I guess I’m just surprised.  I thought I was going to be doing the same things I did before, the same way I did them.  I thought I was going to find a needle and thread, but I just found more tape.
