I often wonder how two TBI people would be as a couple versus a TBI and "normal".I think they should have a single site like Match.com for TBI match for the singles out here.Mia bad I drank a soda after Ortho so I am a little silly after a Pity Party

I can tell it is challenging and a hoot at the same time. My wife had a stroke like event a decade ago that put her in ICU for a week and has effected her in many of the same ways as a mTBI. Neither of us has a memory worth a darn and the various symptoms often happen to us at the same time. You might say we are a very dysfunctional couple with a highly developed sense of humor. If we did not laugh about it we would cry.
