Take Jeff Bauman, for example, the guy in the photo above now missing his legs. In the near aftermath of the bombing, he's is feted and honored and cheered at ice hockey games and baseball games with thousands of people cheering as a grand collective. When he's released from the hospital and public eye, who is he? Who will he be? Another nobody crippled guy demanding aid from other people who can take care of themselves until something bad happens to them or their loved one.<br /><br />I don't know if I was gregarious out-going person; I was always left behind or left out. I can't even tell you how many times I would ask a girl for a date well in advance of Friday or weekend and I i'd hear, 'Sure, if something else/better doesn't come up.' Loner is the role I've always had and I empathize with the abandonment. On the other hand, you certainly learn who your friends truly are. The two true thing I've learned about true friends is that everyone has very few of them and I want to be one of them no matter what is done to me.<br /><br />Indigo Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07488424336985581412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12392119.post-66231910748921470152013-05-07T05:31:28.233-07:002013-05-07T05:31:28.233-07:00It's not just a matter of individual attention...It's not just a matter of <i>individual attention</i>, IMO. What I've seen with Mr. AOW is no attention! Well, with the one exception of his friend Steve.<br /><br />Mr. AOW was a very social -- and generous and kind -- person before his stroke. He lived by the Golden Rule, in other words. He is having a difficult time with the role of loner -- a role that he has been forced into.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12392119.post-5439132414470282112013-05-05T10:07:06.928-07:002013-05-05T10:07:06.928-07:00AOW, I have seen some coverage of the injured in t...AOW, I have seen some coverage of the injured in treatment. It focused on the positive actions of caregivers and volunteers and the positive attitudes of the victims. What happens after the hospital and the daily PT, when they are released to the real world where people don't pay absolute attention to one person, will be hard for most.
