    Excellent recap, love seeing a similarly obsessed Majority Report fan out in the wild. How’s it going friend?

      Well, after about a year of self directed physical therapy (can’t afford healthcare, car got stolen so I couldn’t get to it anyway), I’m now not in constant, screaming agony anymore, and I finally found a place I can actually afford to live at off of meager SSDI income.

      So… things are looking up, actually!

        I’m sorry to hear it but I’m also glad that things are looking up?

        Been a rough one sounds like. I too am a year and a half out from a brain injury, thankfully my insurance covered most of it, but it didn’t cover the basement flooding, wife’s layoff or kids braces 😆. Election aside, things are also looking up for me.

        In all honesty, take care, sorry you’ve been having troubles. I’m not trying to belittle them with mine, just know that you have friends out there who feel your pain.

          Right back at you man.

          I’ve had a number of concussions and contusions over the years, but never so severe I needed brain surgery.

          Best of luck, I know that recovery from major surgeries, especially brain surgeries, can be extremely challenging in unexpected ways that are often dismissed or not understood by everyone around you.

            Thankfully mine wasn’t surgery, just a nasty knock to the noggin and subsaquent internal bleeding, but thank you. Up and forward, all we can do. Keep fighting the good fight friend, and keep listening to the right sort of people :)
