7. Because of my brain and eyes.

I have a TBI (traumatic brain injury). I assume that is where my double eye site came from, but maybe the accident just knocked something out of whack. So, sometimes I even “watch” tv with my eyes closed, if my vision is bad enough that day. Then there is the cognitive loss I have taken on since my accident. I often complain the day before I was a college graduate and the day after I rode the short yellow bus. I have trouble reading and comprehending, but especially anything longer than a few lines. Irl and here, I have been known to ask folks to explain things to me like I am a five year old. I always mean it. Make it simple and short.

My therapist says she likes who I am, but I miss the person I was. The things I could do. The thoughts I had. I grew up with that person. I loved her. This person is foreign to me and I do not like her at all. She is so stupid, she cannot even remember her dog’s or husband’s name at times. Another “wonderful” side effect from the accident.
