Since sustaining a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) from a horseback riding fall in November 2008, my life hasn't been the same. Everyday I face challenges that few know about and none can see. Thanks to support from my friends and family, I have still managed to find some humor about my "Head Case"!

I'm loosing sight of the FUN in this DysFUNctional Test!
Seriously...THIS is what I'm going to look like come this Friday, May 29, 2010! AND..I'm not laughing anymore! Ok...so YOU are, but me, not so much! I was just reconfirmed for EEG monitoring Friday-Monday by this poor woman, L. She asked me if I wanted to reschedule due to the holiday weekend. I said "why would I want to do that"? Well, come to find out, my head is going to look like my new BFF in this picture, AND they want to do video monitoring! (not happening as I am certain it would end with me in jail or in a psych ward) L. said she felt bad that I would be confined to the house all holiday weekend. "Confined? Can you elaborate on that?" I asked. She said basically my whole head and chin would be wrapped in gauze, double sided tape, and whatever else they could rummage up, and therefore would not be fit for public viewing! She followed it up by saying I cannot be in the sun, sweat, bathe/shower, or do any vigorous activity. (BTW-I'm on the "Don't ask so they can't say no policy" so alcohol consumption never came up! Originally I had considered letting my friends parade me around and put me through torturous activities (in return for a small donation towards Traumatic Brain Injury Research) but now I'm reconsidering that whole idea! But leave it to me...I'm sure somehow, someway...I will manage to put the FUN in Dysfunctional!
