Anyone find themselves talking more than usual?
Lately, I've been flapping my gums like no tomorrow. I don't know if its because I'm having trouble expressing myself, so I use a bunch of small words, or what. But I find it kind of embarrassing after I realize I'm saying a bunch of unnecessary stuff lol. I'll be at the bus stop and someone will ask when the bus comes, and I'll start running my mouth about how horrible the bus system is out here...LOL. Or, someone will ask me what I'm doing and I'll go into detail about what's going on instead of just saying "I'm out running errands". I think I heard someone say this is common. Anyone else? 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. |
