Nailed my head last night, broke skin and unicorn bump!!!
Last night, I was donating some stuff to a Goodwill donation box. I couldn't get the bag to fit inside the trap door, so I jumped up to push it in and NAILED my head on the top of the box. The hit was hard enough to make me see stars and feel disoriented on the drive home. Now, I have about a half inch unicorn bump on the top center of my head.
JUST MY LUCK!
I'm definitely feeling the effects of it today.
Maybe I should start wearing a helmet? Geez.
Protect your head everyone!

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.
Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.
Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.
Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
