I totally went ice skating tonight.
Loud music, lots of people and crazy lights. I brought my earplugs, some dark shades and took frequent breaks over a 40 minute period. It was AWESOME!!!! I didn't fall or bump into anyone and made it home in one piece. I haven't felt this alive in almost two years. Praying I don't pay for it tomorrow. If I do, it was well worth it. Anyone else participate in the occasional "risky business"???

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. |
