Word Finding is Annoying!!!

Its like my second brain.

It can be really embarrassing. I was on the phone with someone from customer service for...can't even remember what...and she asked me for my address. It took me like 5 full seconds of "um"s before I could remember my address (I hadn't lived there that long, but still). Really frustrating and embarrassing.

I had some word finding problems before my injury (possibly as a result of previous injuries), but they were nowhere near as bad as they have been since my injury. Thankfully, though, this particular problem seems to be getting less noticeable, which is definitely a good sign.

Well, mine is constant. It doesn't ever go away.

It sucks!

I get the strangest looks when random words tumble out of my mouth. It's by far not the worst problem I have, but it sure is annoying.

I understood every word. Then I read "Know what I am saying?" Then I looked over the first sentence and realized I read it the way it should have been. Only if people could do that when we talk!

After 9 years of using the same sales id one day I could not remember it and had to call app support. The lady on the phone acted really strange until I told her I was suffering from post concussion syndrome. She said that she had been through it before and was immediately understanding.......aaaaaah!
