I live in the 89103 zip code.

The doctor said there is absolutely nothing that can be done about the dried up blood in my head. She said it will be there forever.

That makes me wonder if it was necessary for them to perform surgery to drain the blood out. Too late now. I'd wonder how that would have effected my recovery and how I'd be feeling today...but that would just bring on more stress.

Every day I say my mental status/cognitive functioning is worse than the day before. I'm not lying when I say that. I can't figure out why its happening...I should be feeling better or the same.

Yes, stressing about it is making it worse. But even when I'm just laying here not thinking about anything its still there.

I want answers ...

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.
