Writer's Block: Chinese New Year

[Error: unknown template qotd]The year of the Tiger, and interestingly I was born under the zodiac sign of Leo the Lion. RAWR!

Re: What brought that on?

Whoa...yeah. Being a brain injury, it managed to affect every part of my life and alienate me from both my peers and family. I have had ataxia (balance problems), dysarthria (speech problems), delusions, suicidal ideations, halos (pre-seizure auras), confusion, dizziness, headaches, and depression.

Fortunately, by this time most of all that is gone or under control. My balance is still a little off, but is incredibly good, considering. I've been seizure-free for over 20 years, so I currently take no meds—which were what were giving me the depression and suicidal ideations. Life is good.

Life is good.

That sounds fine, like you got an excellent outcome.

No specific problems with impulse control, processing verbal information, perceiving social signals from others, that sort of thing?
