Adjusting to 'Life post my Brain Injury'. Even now, 6 years later...but at this stage, I am [at last] understanding what life is actually about. 6 years has made a lot of difference in the world. And in people. And in me.

Most of the time, I am trundling along, hoping for the best. Moving forward. Hoping that new people that I meet will become friends. Or neighbours. On just people you can speak too when you are working in you garden and they walk past.

But quite a lot of people are not like that any more.

They are about as interesting as having half your head removed. 

As your brain has been totally battered, then perhaps when you start to recover, as you look for help, in small ways, it doesn't really happen.

Because, surprising [for me] a lot of people are extremely unpleasant.

They are not like animals. They do not understand the pack.

Animals hunt their prey by working together with other members of its species. But humans?

They lie.
They deceive.
They scandal behind your back.
They discard you - like rotten fish.

And - such fun darling! They talk about you as if you will never understand what they have said. Because we struggle to grasp things immediately. We have to ask. We need a bit of patience. But that doesn't happen all the time.

Because you are a ''Stupid'' person in their eyes [but they never say that out loud…] - that is what happens when you have a brain injury. Life changes so much.

Small piece of advice, all you who have a massive brain injury; always hope for the best. But never rely on people unless you know absolutely that you can trust them.

In your life after traumatic brain injury, you have to ask for help.

And some times, others are just too busy. A tad distressful. But hey - onward and upward. Right?
