I can’t speak whatsoever to John Fetterman’s health or state of mind, but as somebody who had a traumatic brain injury that led to a stroke, I really feel for him having to deal with recovery publicly.
I think it’s very important to know that people can recover fully from stroke or recover to be a different person with full capacities. It’s also important to get treatment if not better and acknowledge if needing help.

I had a really fruitful mtg yesterday with an OT from the brain injury org my doc referred me to re the long term brain injury covid left me.
Lots of discussion around executive function limitations and my inability to manage interpersonal stuff in real time.
Ymmv, but in case you didn't know you could ask for that, you can ask for that.
Go on, shake that tree, help might fall out.

Kerry pensioner (86) caused "life-changing injuries" including an acquired brain injury to cyclist. Judge Ronan Munro said her culpability was at 'the lower end of the scale'. He said she ‘had deviated from the defined area of travel’ hitting the cyclist and the sun appeared to be a factor. He gave Mrs O’Donnell a 13 month suspended sentence and disqualified her from driving for eight years.

Question for my traumatic brain injury trunkies:
Does your capacity fluctuate with being tired, stressed, sick etc or are your limitations/capabilities more static regardless of the other ups and downs of life?
I am wondering if impact-type brain injuries have more/less flux than illness related cog/coordination issues.

Dropping a #longCovid too in case that crowd wants to lurk on replies.
[edit, will boost this wk for reach then read replies later]
@ai6yr An excellent resource! The Brain Injury Alliance of America (www.biausa.com) is another great resource for the public.
And a shameless plug for #Colorado: the Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado has a website with fantastic educational resources for kids, adults, and service providers, including symptoms, recovery/management, school re-entry, etc. (https://biacolorado.org).
Sport is for our enjoyment and our entertainment. It can also help us look into how we deal with things - like injury, expectation, the ups and downs of life.

Frequently when I say "I have long term memory loss." People say "But you don't forget people right?"
Yes. I forget people. And it really freaks some folks out but it's not clear to me why?
incur lapses in memory & several committed suicide in their 40s. This sounds eerily like football players who develop #CTE after years of repeated concussive hits—but here, the opponent appears to be invisible G-forces…
