I used to say that my head injury was minor: I can still walk, talk, think, dress, eat etc… Sure, not as good as I once could, but there was not that much wrong with me. Then I thought again: what could I once do very well that I have problems with now: walking, talking *, thinking, dressing, eating, balancing, concentrating, understanding situations, remembering things… Then there is the disinhibition, over-familiarity, dyspraxia, dysarthria, ataxia, fatigue, impulsiveness, vision problems and lack of insight.
