I'm at the ER again since my functions got even worse today. My MRI was faxed over to the doctor here and she told me there is lots of left over blood and damage to the left frontal lobe. She said unfortunately that's a very important part of the brain and this is something I'm stuck with for the rest of my life.
I hate my life. I don't want to live like this anymore. Why is this happening now? Why was I doing at 89% healed and now I'm practically a vegetable? This is ridiculous. If it doesn't get better in a week I'm gonna end my suffering. This is only going to get worse as I get older. So what's the point?

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. |
