Please forgive grammar. I am having communication problems when stress increases, then when it is not so bad, I see I still have lost communication, but becomes little better. I had traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) when I was 12 years old from a motor vehicle accident (MVA). The horse I was riding went through the windshield of a pick-up truck. I hit pavement behind the truck headfirst, after breaking both femurs on tailgate. I was in coma for a time.
I graduated high school, got married, raised 3 children, went through nursing school and got my RN, and went through a divorced 3 years ago because husband play around with other woman, who was a friend of mine, no longer friend now, and he was drug addict.
I always had problems with memory and had to take classes over 2-3 times to get information. Now after being assaulted by sons girlfriend in Dec I am loosing more of cognitive abilities, cannot work, cannot get on disability because they say I can work, My doctor wants a Neropsych testing done. This is about $5000.00 he tells me. I have no income, no insurance to pay for.
I had to move out of my place I was buying and rent it to pay mortgage payments. I stay with friend short time, mother short time, and maybe in my car. All this increases stress and I loose more communication abilities every day. I try getting help, but because I have property I rent out, they say this is income, rent only pay mortgage payments on place. If I had stayed I could have gotten help, but then I would have foreclosure on place. I will eventually loose car because will not be able to make payments on it then when have no other place to stay will not have car to stay in either.
I wait to see what stress comes next and what I cognitively loose, I am only 47.
