I guess I'm the one, who proves you CAN teach old dogs new tricks, because I'm still learning.

What I mean is, for years, I've known of problems I had (and still have) but never realized that I am not alone.

Then, a few months ago, someone told me about an online group, called TBI, which means Traumatic Brain Injury and I started reading the listserv-like entries.  In the past few weeks,  I've learned that many of the people, who have had Traumatic Brain Injuries, have the same problems.

These problems may range from memory dysfunctioin to out-of-whack sleeping habits (meaning we'll sleep a, normal eight hours and then have to return to bed for another seven hours.  Then, even with 13 hours of sleep, we're still lethargic.

The worst part of a TBI seems to be the fact that "normal" people demand that they know what you need, when, in reality, they don't know a thing.  It's like a person, who can hear, trying to tell me how to read lips.   All it brings is frustration.
