11. Brain injuries can be so very bad.

Oh man, I feel so sad hearing your story because I had 2 traumatic brain injuries last year, 6 weeks apart, and it's taken me over a year to mostly recover. I am glad you are doing so much better! I am also so glad I can now think and read without it hurting my head so much. I still am not back to normal, still have sun sensitivity from nerve damage. I am working up to walking when it's bright out with a large floppy hat and see how I do, how much progress has been made since last summer. I won't do this until hubby can walk with me in case I have issues again.

I do find MMJ is good for me too, helps with the anxiety and pain - a lot. I mix CBD strains with thc strains, hybrid for day and indica for night and this works well. I increased my usage with this plague due to anxiety, but guess I've gotten better because I now am just naturally smoking less. Stopping watching Cheetolini's pressers helped more than I expected, lol.
