Have you found any brain injury support groups? You would likely benefit from the support you will find in a brain injury support group.

Last Friday, my wife and I we 'babysitting' for friends. They have four kid, 8, 6, 3, and 1. We were playing with the sofa cushions when I noticed the sofa bed with a block of wood under it. Elijah told me that it wasn't a sofa bed anymore because it was broke. I asked him to find me a Phillips screw driver and wire cutting pliers. By the time his parents came home, I had pulled the sofa apart, pulled the old nails and staples and reglued the frame back together.

My kids (grown now) had a saying, "Dad can fix anything but popped balloons and broken light bulbs." Except, I can fix this goofy brain., although I still get a lot of use out of it.

I would bet that the animals you work with realize your struggles. My two beagles can read me like a book. They have observed my deterioration and just like to hang around me. They are 14 1/2 y's old. Both are deaf. One is mostly blind, Chuck. Sally has degenerative disc disease in her back end and is slowly losing her sight too. Their meds cost as much as mine.

Being able to just slow down and meet them at their speed, like the traumatized dogs you see, is a great benefit. I can usually make friends with just about any dog. I surprise my customers who have rowdy dogs. I will kneel down so they can smell my face. This disarms them very quickly. They will either become a nuisance wanting my attention or decide to just walk away and leave me alone.

I think working with animals is a good exercise for PCS subjects.
