The Firework In A Fridge
Hugs Andy, spot on as usual.π€π€J.
Along with the loss of good mobility, the word-finding and brain fog have been my worst bugbears. Having previously been pretty eloquent and happy to take on any subject or argument I've (like you) been reduced to using shorter, more childish vocabulary in most conversations.
Words of choice are usually j-u-u-st out of reach ; it's so demoralizing.
On the other hand, I haven't yet tried pants on head to diffuse the frustration ! (yours are cool BTW). I'll let you know...... π€

Hi BaronC,
Thank you for posting your YouTube clip - it made me both laugh and cry! Love your analogy of living with brain injury π
