I'm a TBI survivor with not much memory. Twitter is my crazy times journal🤗 / memoirs of life after a career ending, non-sports related concussion/TBI.

Today is the second reading of Bill C-22 for the Canada Disability Benefit. People with disabilities are twice as likely to live in poverty - and that was before the pandemic. Tag your representatives and encourage the fast-tracking of Bill C-22 #CDBby23 @Disability_WP #CDNPoli

Nathan asked why I touched his neck and back when he’s trying to sleep. I responded just to make sure you’re warm and not dead. Then I realized how morbid being a parent is. Especially since he is 12.

“You know dad. Neglected children need counselling in their 40s and you neglected me by not making me a sandwich. It’s me. I am the neglected child. And if I wasn’t neglected I also probably wouldn’t argue with matthew” Now that’s a 12 year old boy who makes me proud. #parenting

I am 7 years out. Every day I look in the mirror and say “get your shit together, todays the day you get over it” and then all the competing stimuli start flooding my brain… and I’m reminded. Struggles and Doubts: mytbiblog.com/struggles/

Me to my 14 yo “even tho you wash your clothes. There’s an optics issue with wearing the same thing every day. Girls will think it’s grubby” response: “yah well I don’t care about girls right now so it’s not a problem for me” oh to have this level of unbridled confidence

I do this still at 6 years out & I have moments when I think I’m cured 😂 but nope. It just takes one awesome (or not) activity to realize my reality. So now I ask; is the “TBI hangover” worth this activity? If yes, I do it & plan in recovery time. If not, It’s a hard pass.

Research is pointing to Covid brain and nervous system impacting TBI symptoms. Exhasperating or creating setbacks…. That’s pretty uncool Covid. Pretty uncool.

#Braininjury survivors have been shown to have an even greater risk from #COVID19 due to the neurological impacts. #LongCovid exacerbates existing #PCS symptoms. Reducing risk is a personal choice, but for me, the choice is clear. #SARSCoV2 #TBI mytbiblog.com/tbi-covid/

Nathan was just telling us at breakfast today “I saw people crying about stuff on tiktok and I want to write on their comments; who raised you to be a victim” and I’ve never been so proud 😂😂😂

@MyTBIBlog I struggle playing the piano with both hands now. It’s crazy the reach of a TBI. I work at it and I celebrate the tiniest of improvements 🙌🏼 as they come. Keep plucking away (pun intended)

A post from two years ago about how my #TBI took from me my ability to play guitar. It's still not where it used to be, but little bits are coming back and with practice, I'm improving. #braininjury mytbiblog.com/music/
