I have developed CDO as a result of my traumatic brain injury.
What is CDO, you ask? Its kinda like OCD, except the letters are in alphabetical order... ...AS THEY SHOULD BE!!! 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. |

That's a really good, cute one, ya came up with there, Nick!
Thanks for the lightheartedness! Yeah, yes "that acquired-"CDO" when she's in-house here to take care of bizness, she can keep my mind spinning spinning spinning, trying to get everything in order just right for the 'cognitive dysfunction executives ' branch of my brain's governor! Wow. Thanks again for the grins here. I'm glad to see ya today feeling playful enough to pun around.  Keep that gallows humor rollin, Guy! Best to ya, Theta
