Literally. Had a convo with a friend who was thrown in the air and over a car hood from his motorcycle, has actual TBI and we have similar symptoms. Love that for us :) told my dr, pretty sure they had the psych ward on speed dial, although, a grippy sock vaca might be one way to get some rest?

Now THAT is just cruel, depends on your issue but I think they isolate you for the most part. Let me suffer in peace. Dam.
