That's really all I have to say...hahaha. Nick

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. |

Glad to hear that! Are you going through treatment that is actually working or is just that you feel good?

As Nick said, That's all he has to say.
That's enough for me.

That is awesome, Nick! Way to go.
I would just add, avoid highs that are too high, and lows that are too low. I've lost a couple people in my life, last thing they said was how great their lives had turned. I only say this because I care about you and everyone else on this forum. Kenjhee

Ahhh...not something you should say to someone who has suffered from severe anxiety
 ......but, I'm sure I'll be fine. Thanks for advice and concern. Nick P.S. That's funny you say that because I was thinking about something similar while sitting at a bus stop today.
