Hello everyone,

I'm just curious if the symptoms that are plaguing me are due to my TBI or if they're a combo of my brain surgery 1 year prior to the TBI. Please offer input if you can, thank you!

I have a heck of a time recalling names of people, places, and things. It takes longer for me to process information ~ for ex: looking outside the window, while I'm a passenger in a car, I don't have enough time to process to recognize what I see...much less come up with the names for these objects! I become very frustrated, because my brain cannot process as fast as "normal" people out there.

I become frustrated when others share their difficulty in remembering names, as it is NOT the same! 99% of the time, I struggle hard to recall names. I can call a person by their real name one minute & seconds later, I can't remember it for the life of me. Very frustrating!! My TBI was in my left temporal lobe 3/06, and these difficulties are apparently permanent.

Can anyone relate to this description, or is more due to the brain surgery?? Thank you!
