I've always had trouble finding people in the neighborhood that understood my brain injury. I've ended up spending a lot of time alone which isn't always good. I'm having some test done to see if I need to be on seizure medications. I was injured in childhood went a long time without seizure meds or seeing a neurologist. I did get a BA in history. I had a moderate tbi at the age of 4 in 89.
I face a bit of stigma too because when they say he has a tbi, I think I'll be aggressive physically. Or if I'm at a doctor's office and stand in the room while waiting, certain doctors think you're going to cut a rug. And I've had problem out of certain cops and deputies like Jim crow laws are for head injured folk.
If only...I sustained TBI 3 years ago. I am not a veteran. I have no one, not one single person in my life, who cares enough to learn about TBI let alone help me. Life can be so hard sometimes. I cling to belief that I will be restored. but I will owe no one a dime. I hope my grandchildren will learn and love me just how I am! less than perfect, but not just debris to be pitched.
Morgan Congratulations on your position as Congressman, well deserved.Thank you for all your hard work and effort helping your fellow Veteran's, Team mates, and even people u don't really know but have reached out to you for help with TBI it's a lot of information that is desperately needed specially for those who are not aware of or for those who do not know where to start to get the proper help for each significant issue of TBI or PTSD. My Brother had a severe dangerous car accident, very small car his head hit the windshield front end of his car totaledly caved in Miracle he is alive to day. Long story short he suffered brain injury with a blood to his brain. He had wide range difficulties that he went through while waiting for this blood clot to dissolve. At that particular time frame they did not have as much information as they do now and your right I don't think we will ever figure out everything when it comes to our brains maybe that's why God designed us that way. Interesting video! Thank you again.

Simply can't stand to sit or sit to stand. My legs are messed up.
Very proud of you achieving a BA! God bless you and I’m sorry that happened to you. You’re not just a survivor of a TBI. You’re a winner!!! 🙌
