How it is in here

It's a hard thing to describe, this brain injury thing.
Much of the time, it's just like being drunk.
Without the pleasures of drinking, of course.
But the same slowness of thought and (sometimes) speech, uncertainty of gait, carelessness of judgment, and deliberateness of motion.
I have to be very careful reaching for things, esp. setting them down, and have to judge distances by shadows and movement, since my binocular vision still isn't working.
I've never been drunk enough to see double, but I'm sure this is what it's like.
Sigh.
Some day this will all go away.
Not soon enough...
