My writing is MUCH better than my speech. When you write, you can take your time to get it right. I think speech is different because it involves spontaneity. That, is a huge problem for me nowaday...and even if I know how I feel and what I want to say, when I go to say it my thought process halts. Then, something comes out wrong or doesn't come out at all.
I can make myself seem very intelligent by my writing skills alone. It would be hard for anyone to think that I'm struggling with anything by reading my posts. I hope I never lose that skill.
Anyways, it's hard to explain...and don't worry about being negative. I don't think you were being negative anyways. You were just giving me your honest opinion.

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.
