Late last month was seven years since my accident resulting in a TBI (traumatic brain injury)
Is my brain getting any better?
No!
I’m just learning how to work around the problems I have and people do not see me taking risk breaks and naps in the afternoons and sometimes the mornings after doing a job mentally exhausting myself.
I’ve also had to learn to give up on some of the things I once loved and change to new things that I once did that I gave up on because I enjoyed other activities more.
ie: cycling, mountain biking, riding motorcycles, whitewater kayaking, reading etc.
And also sometimes when talking to people, I cannot remember that special word that I’m trying to think of to say next.
Sometimes the word I’d like to use is one of my favourites from a good friend the word is Pozor.
It’s Czech for caution/dangerous but if I’m wrong, I cannot remember but that’s part of my life and I don’t care.
Live life to the max when you still can and once you can’t, live life to the best you can.
