A brain injury is hard to grasp second-hand. Even my closest friends don’t really get it. Everyone get headaches. Everyone gets tired. Lots of people forget where they parked the car. The difference is qualitative. I walk around constantly aware that my head isn’t right. It’s like jogging on a bum knee all day long, knowing the thing could blow at any second. But you can rest a bad knee by sitting down. A bad head follows you everywhere.
