Thanks for the compliments.
I had two rough days, Wednesday and Thursday. I worked my brain too hard trying to understand the instructions in a automatic transmission repair manual. Slept most of Wednesday and half of Thursday.
I follow this forum as an exercise for my brain. With the many years I have lived with PCS, I wish I had understood 30 years ago what I understand today. At least I had some sense to not push too hard with my life and various businesses. The ups and downs can be miserable. By slowing down, I can keep them to a minimum.
Now, I am trying to survive on Social Security Disability Income. It's tough. My wife finally had to find a job. She had not worked since before we got married 30 years ago last July. When I look back and begin to understand the strain my PCS put on my wife and 3 kids, I hope to help others avoid the struggles I had.
BTW, Between my academic records, the observations of my mother and my wife, we can directly chart the continued deterioration after each minor head bump since my serious concussion when I was 10 (1965). Hopefully, I have been able to explain the importance of avoiding the risks of those Post Concussion minor bumps.
I encourage all of you to find and join/participate in a TBI/mTBI support group. We can learn so much from each other. Plus, we seriously need each others support. Our family and caregivers also need the support of a mTBI/TBI support group. My wife looks forward to attending our local support group.
Hopefully, today I can get some brain cells lined up to continue my automatic transmission repair efforts. I think I can do it if I take it slower.
My best to you all.
