I like how it says "recovery is measured in years". Not only does that make us feel a little better about our situation, it let's others know that things won't happen overnight. I talked to a buddy of mine not too long ago, when I told him that I was still feeling the effects of the injury, he said "damn, your messed up for life, huh?".
I'm glad that I found this article. Its the first thing that I've found that is simple, easy to understand and direct to the point. I think it will be a valuable tool for many of us. 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. |
