Default Living with Brain Injury
I'm not sure if this has been posted before but here's the link to a really great TBI guide:

Missouri Green Book: Living with Brain Injury
http://health.mo.gov/living/families...eGreenBook.pdf

It's in PDF format, so you will need to have a PDF file reader like Adobe installed on your computer. If you want to view it in HTML format, just Google: Missouri Green Book Living with Brain Injury and below the link will be an option to view the HTML version.

Lots of useful information in there for adults and children.

Cheers,

Nick

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.
