Their error initially led many, including Pres. Obama, to think that the health care bill was dead. But it lasted only a moment. An editor once told me, if something you write can be misunderstood, you will have at least one reader who will misunderstand it. But it seems to me that just about anything anyone says or writes can be misunderstood.
Teachers are often amazed when students report back to them on tests and papers what they purportedly said in class. A colleague once told me her favorite student reinterpretation of a grammar rule: Never begin a sentence with a preposition. The rest of the words in the sentence, the context, provide clues as to which pronunciation makes sense. This is an example of a homograph, or words spelled the same, but pronounced differently and with different meanings.
Patterson, Country Club President, called his grounds crew and left an irritated voicemail. Customers are complaining about it being unsightly. Clusters of weeds screwing up their shots. I went by myself just now. We have so much crabgrass on the putting green! This post relates to another post: Easily Confused Words: Putting vs.
Sow and sow are easily confused words. They are an example of a homograph: words spelled the same, but they are pronounced differently and mean different things. Homographs are a type of homonym , click the link to learn more. Context provides the keys to what word makes sense in every sentence. The context is the scenario created by the other words in that sentence.
Saul was attempting to sow seeds for a sunflower crop when he heard noise behind him. The neighbors prize sow was following his tracks and digging up the seeds and gobbling them.
Saul pulled out his cell phone and took a photo and sent the text to his neighbor. Please get your truck and come fetch her as soon as possible. They are homographs , words spelled the same, but pronounced differently.
If you're concerned about someone with aphasia, encourage them to discuss any problems with their GP or a member of their care team to access the relevant support. If the person is unable to do this themselves, they may require someone to communicate on their behalf. Page last reviewed: 23 March Next review due: 23 March Symptoms of aphasia People with aphasia often have trouble with the 4 main ways people understand and use language. These are: reading listening speaking typing or writing Speaking problems are perhaps the most obvious, and people with aphasia may make mistakes with the words they use.
Types of aphasia Aphasia is often classified as "expressive" or "receptive", depending on whether there are difficulties with understanding or expressing language, or both. Read more about the different types of aphasia. Causes of aphasia Aphasia is caused by damage to parts of the brain responsible for understanding and producing language.
Common causes include: stroke — the most common cause of aphasia severe head injury a brain tumour progressive neurological conditions — conditions that cause the brain and nervous system to become damaged over time, such as dementia Aphasia can affect people of all ages, but it's most common in people over the age of Diagnosing aphasia Aphasia is usually diagnosed after tests carried out by a clinician — either a speech and language therapist or a doctor.
A week later and I have read that post copied it and put it in my notes on phone a times. I am still foggy and feel I struggle with dates, times and short term memory. Part of me believes it to be anxiety.
Part of me believes it to be the end. And some part that may be whackier than the others hopes they find MS on the scan because that is something I can live with for a really long time and not die or lose all my marbles. As a side note, I have had worries about my daughter recently as well.
She swam in some fresh water and I remembered the dang brain eating ameba that kills like 1 person a year in the entire world. I cursed myself for letting her swim and of course she was fine. But it just an example that the rabbit hole is open for business in my brain right now. Reading your post and the others afterward has helped me understand, that what seems like symptoms that have no earthly way they could be rooted in anxiety, almost certainly are. Hope you are doing better this week and thanks for sharing your story.
Firstly, that's brill that you've gone so long feeling well and out of the HA hole. That must've taken some really hard work and self-care.
As they say, recovery is not linear, so I think it's normal for people to find themselves feeling similar blips along the way. It got better for a few days but then came back.
My eyes feel so tired and I'm generally feeling super exhausted so I'm sure that's not helping the concentration levels. I'm so glad you said that about early onset dementia. That very thought has crossed my mind, too. It's so hard not to look for evidence isn't it. Stuff with the mind is a really insidious fear - it's the stuff you can't see or visualise and only you can keep track of it. It's the perfect storm of pressure on yourself to be aware of what you're missing, pressure not to get stuff wrong because that means it's all real , pressure to get to the bottom of it and pressure to, in spite of all that, stop putting pressure on ourselves because it could be our minds playing tricks.
So much pressure and so much worry Our docs say it's probably nothing. I completely understand what your fears are about your daughter - but please don't worry about that right now because that's not happened and there are no facts to say it will. That's easy for me to say. But at this point you are scoring perfect on a memory test. Your doc can't find anything wrong with your memory - and after your scan you'll see whether there's anything physically wrong with your brain.
I am no doc but feel like your perfect score wouldn't have been so perfect if there was anything untoward. It's great that you're having lots of tests - how reassured will you be when it all comes back or if something did come up unlikely if doc days it's routine , you can handle it. Neuros are looking for all kinds of signs. They have absolutely no reason to hide info from you at all. If you asked and they said it's procedure, why would they lie?
I've got my fingers crossed for you but I reckon you'll be absolutely fine you know Let me know how you get on! Your super rational and amazingly well thought out reasoning is absolutely indicative of someone that has zero dementia issue. From everything I have read folks just do not realize they even have issues when it truly is dementia much less have the ability to reason like you. I believe you are correct that once I get the tests completed and finding are negative fingers crossed of course it will help me close up the rabbit hole so to speak.
I know the next sinister disease lurks around the dark corner but we will deal with him if and when he pops up. It is amazing, I have absolutely no other fear of anything wrong with me at this moment in time. My focus is laser guided on this memory deal. Stupid brain! On a side note, don't you completely envy people that just go through life with no cares and no worries about what life may bring?
I have a of couple friends that for 30 years just go with the flow; money, relationships, health, whatever and know it will all work out.
I want to bop them on the head out of jealously. But they are good role models. Anyway, will definitely send an update on scans, etc.
