Thank you everyone. It's hard to take a break and focus on me when I have so many responsibilities. I'm the sole provider for my biological son, my step-son, my girlfriend and one child on the way. I'm supporting them with a measily SSI check that barely covers rent and bills. If it wasn't for my mom helping out every once in awhile with diapers, wipes, etc. we would have fell under by now. I wish I could take one of my checks and disappear for an entire month, but that would mean my kids and girlfriend would be homeless. It's impossible to get any rest in a house full of kids and a pregnant woman who relies on you.

*sigh*

I fear that it's too late for me anyways. It's already been almost 2 years and I haven't REALLY given my brain a chance to heal. I think I'm just stuck where I'm at now.

I'm gonna try the music therapy tomorrow. I will mention the eye doctor thing at my next doctor appt. Ty for the suggestions .

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.
