My injury is similar to your's. What part of your brain was hurt and bled? Mine was in the left frontal lobe...one of the most important parts of the brain that controls a lot of executive functions. Go figure. It sounds like we struggle with the same things, too. I have trouble putting my thoughts into words...my speech is just terrible.

I suggest that you find some doctor's that specialize in brain injury ASAP. Don't wait...that was my mistake. I thought I was getting better on my own...and then everything came crashing down on me 3 months later. I didn't seek help until then. I'm 9 months into my recovery...and things are actually worse than they were early in my recovery. I think a lot of it has to do with stress, anxiety and the fact I didn't seek help until months after the injury.

Find some good doctors, search online for a brain injury support group and maybe a center that helps people with brain injuries.

I wish you the best of luck on your road to recovery.
