RE: Concussions suck. They make it no fun for anyone. Haven't had a good day in years.

My brother has TBI from an IED in Iraq. He had some anger, but it seems he has found balance now. I hope your injury does not prevent you from finding the same balance.

Thanks. The meeting went great, as they always do; I cried a couple times as I described how I used to be able to write software (writing this just triggered a headache). Sharing with others with this condition is incredibly important though! One fellow shared a documentary, "I Am", which is about someone who had a bike accident and had a brain injury, and his recovery. My wife @countrylover and I will watch it soon. I shared that I'm doing hyperbaric chamber oxygen therapy, as well as neuro feedback, and answered questions about those treatments.

Sorry about your brother, I can understand what he's going through from a symptom perspective, but I can't imagine what it'd be like to be in war. The beginning of the first "Iron Man" movie is scary enough.

It sounds like you have a great support network. Which is the important thing. I wish you the best.
