Mine is, well it seems a little odd to some people. I was born with severe migraines, 4 different types of them. Over the last 30 years of having them on average 1-2 times a week, lasting up to 3 days, it has caused trauma (the trauma actually began to be noticeable a few years ago). My migraines are slowly doing to me what a sudden severe head trauma would do in an instant. It will get worse, and I will die from a stroke. No ifs and or buts about that.<br /><br />Not sure what is worse, knowing that I will forget, or suddenly forgetting.<br /><br />Knowing that I might die before it gets worse, or it just getting worse. <br /><br /><br />aw well, knowing that I will die because of it keeps me slightly more chipper. Got to enjoy things while I am able. I think the worst is when I don' know my boys names. That makes me cry every time.Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772440230188635826.post-89885352000086720792009-07-02T09:32:58.549-04:002009-07-02T09:32:58.549-04:00Phelan, I am sorry to hear that you are struggling...Phelan, I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with a brain injury.It is not easy,and I too, can get very frustrated with Rick,more so when he asks the same thing several times in a day. I try real hard not to, though. What is the nature of your brain injury? You can email me if you like.<br />Hugs to you and your husband as well. I enjoy your blog.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146666825333788187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772440230188635826.post-44637230640253820992009-07-02T09:23:12.139-04:002009-07-02T09:23:12.139-04:00This made me tear up.

Right now it is words, like the names of objects that I forget. My brain damage is progressive as well, and before long I will lose all those simple how-to's.<br /><br />At least you are dealing with it well. My husband gets frustrated with me, and that stress causes me to lose more words. <br /><br />A hug to you and your husband.Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.com
