“All my friends and family know that I've had a few concussions, but what they don't know is that its really affecting my brain.

I can't remember anything. If its not written down, I will probably forget to do it. Its always things I need to do, or stuff I need to get at the store etc, I'm not forgetting names or where I am or anything. I also have a terrible time with getting distracted, like right now. I used to be able to concentrate on a task for hours on end, but now I can get sidetracked so easily.

I play off my forgetfulness as a joke, but its getting worse and I'm getting scared.”
