I have saved most of your brain blogs and found them very helpful, it’s been two years ago since my tbi hitting my head against a brick wall playing tennis at 72, I consider myself very lucky and keep on trying to manage the side effects. It affects people in different ways, and as individuals we are trying to deal with it daily. As tbi survivors know, as generally we look ok other people assume that’s it over, but we know the changes we have to live. Thank you for your blog.

In reply to Carl Jackson.

I was 50 when I was injured. Can’t get disability because the judge thought I could work at a dry cleaners or clean offices. Your life sounds like mine…with the exception of hearing loss. I tend to hear things and zero in on them….like someone drumming their fingers or talking too loudly near me…and I want to go off on them. If people ask if I work, I just tell people I am medically retired. They usually leave me alone after knowing that.

In reply to Nigel. I was devastated when I realised I couldn't do my job any more. At the time it felt like the end of the world, but it was actually just the start of a new one.

After a few years learning to live life my new way I still think it’s necessary to back off trying to keep doing what you did for work and leisure. A cycle develops of 2 weeks just getting through it all then you get the side effects. The trouble is the way the world works now prevents doing less as we need to do… so it never ends.

In reply to Kellie Austin.

Kellie, I’m sorry to hear about your accident. But I do like to help other survivors express what they are going through. There was a time that I couldn’t even come close to explaining what was happening. But I read a article about the presenter, Richard Hammond talking about his brain injury after his accident on “Top Gear”. That’s when some of it started to make sense. So as I developed the skills I decided to help others in the same way.
I know it must feel like it’s been ages, but it’s not so try not to get too frustrated with yourself.
Thanks for getting in touch ?
