I called Nevada Community Enrichment Program and the lady on the phone told me, from what I told her I'm going through, that I'm not medically stable to enter the program.
I did not know it was free of charge.
After speaking with her for about 20 minutes, I convinced her to let me come in for an assessment today. However...I completely spaced on it today. When I realized that I missed the appointment, I thought about how I was going to get there anyways...and the cost, and how it might wipe out my VOCP fund.
Thanks for pointing out its free of charge. I will try to make another appointment.

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.
