Default NUCCA - First appointment on 2/10/12

I'm going to see a NUCCA specialist tomorrow for an X-RAY and consultation.

Monday will be my first adjustment...I'll let you guys know what the results are on Monday ...I'm kinda excited about it but I don't want to get my hopes up.

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.

My appointment went great...the lady who will be doing my adjustment was very nice. She also suffered a brain injury 2 years ago and had problems similar to mine. The x-rays showed that my neck and upper body is WAY out of line. My body actually leans to the right quite a bit. My neck is way crunched...right where the brain stem is.

I'm getting my first adjustment done on Monday.
