This is something new to me. I've been sending text messages to the wrong people (so embarrassing) and I'm also writing the wrong words when I text and reply to or create threads. For instance, I was trying to tell my ex-fiance about something weird that happened to me last night and I ended up sending it to my mom. I'm usually careful about things like that lol. Also I will write stuff on here and when I proof-read i'll find that I've completely swapped out words that don't even fit...like "So I went to the tonight last night" or something like that. I usually catch it in the act, not when I read over it before sending/posting.
Frustrating. I've always prided myself on good spelling and writing skills. Oh well!!!

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. Last edited by SpaceCadet; 02-19-2012 at 04:29 PM. Reason: oops |

Seriously, I have noticed too that I make a lot more typos, misspeak more when talking, and just have trouble finding the words I want. I'm an English teacher, and this is NOT an area I'm used to struggling with.

You should see some of my emails. Even I didn't know I knew words like that.

I have the same issues. Its frustrating. I started words with friends and that is helping my spelling. English and reading was my strongpoint...now not so much.
