EsthersDoll,
I just finished reading your post. I didn't feel up to reading that much earlier so that's why I didn't respond until now. I just want to say, thank you so much for taking the time to analyze my situation and provide helpful information for me. It truly means a lot to me. I'm going through a very rough time in my life and I need as much help and incite as possible.
I made an appointment with NV Community Enrichment program but I didn't go...they provide different types of therapy for the brain injured. One of them was speech therapy. I didn't go because I'm afraid its going to use all my VOCP funds. I'm hoping to get insurance through social security (if they accept me) so I'm just going to tough it out until then.
Thank you so much, again. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me.
Nick

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.
