Heart Draw Something for Android Phones (Good for Visual Memory)

I started playing a game last night called "Draw Something". It's really helping to revive my brain cells that have been lying dormant for quite some time. It also helped with my mood (lots of fun, especially if you have friends who play it) and especially my visual memory.

It's a simple game that is comparable to the board game "Pictionary". You pick a word out of a list of three words and you draw a picture of it. It doesn't have to be perfect. You can draw stick figures if you want (that's what I do LOL). The other person has to guess what the picture is trying to tell you. After they guess it, it's your turn to guess their's. Very simple.

Check it out. You can download it for free on the Google Play Store from your Android phone. I'm sure it's available for iPhones, too.

Cheers,

Nick

P.S. Everyone's tolerance for playing these types of games are different. I have a low tolerance for playing any type of game and I could play this for hours with no problem. So, YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY. Only you know how much is too much for your brain.

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.

I played a lot of this game with my friends before the injury. It's really good fun.
