I'm so mad at myself right now!!!
In the past week, I've left something on the bus or at a bus stop THREE TIMES. I'm usually very good about not losing things. My backpack with a lot of important things (including my SD card that has all my son's pictures from the time he was born until now), my NCEP folder with every paper and activity they've ever given me and now a bag that had some of my clothes in it and some medicine.
I'm falling apart. I haven't lost something like that in 5 years. Even further proof that my cognition is in a steady decline.

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.
