Default Concussion memes
My husband and I made this, and I thought y'all might appreciate it. Anybody else have concussion memes?

Well ... er ... sorry, Eowyn ... simply ... I don't get it.

(Nonetheless, I can/do appreciate the spirit in which this was offered here!)

Thanks, Eowyn!
That helps greatly.

Sorry; guess I am just simply of an older generation, i.e. that I/we read, simply/only & loved Tolkein in early undergrad university years ... and I simply could never 'connect' the decades-subsequent major movies productions to that of my own imagination back in reading Tolkein in the early 1970s.

The movies were simply for me "too much" in the way of overly-dramatic sound and such ... and that was even pre-TBI/PCS!

I've just lifelong preferred my own imaginative mental-pictures of characters in literature, etc.

Sorry to be such an old fuddy-duddy 'who doesn't get it' here!
No attempt to 'rain on your parade', Darlin, I assure you!
I'm sure younger posters here will relate/connect!

oxo,

Theta

Lolz.

That is funny.
__________________
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.

Yes, I'm still feeling good. We moved this summer and put a lot of situational stress behind us. It's been good for me. I'm working part time and re-building the teaching pathways in my brain slowly but surely.

Still taking medications to keep me headache free and emotionally stable, but with them, everything seems to be working.
