PCS + Flu
Uggggh. Not cool.....its almost 6am and I've had no sleep.
I got a call around midnight from the ex fiance saying my son was ill and needed to go to the ER. So I drove across town to drop them off...I get back, not feeling so fresh and end up throwing up everything I've probably ever ate. This has been going on for hours. She calls me and says they got him hooked up to a breathing machine...so now I'm stressed.
I feel like crap, my son is sick as h***, I can't stop throwing up and I can't sleep.
Don't expect to hear much from me today.

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.
