If you can’t find my book I’ll dig up a link. Been awhile since I did anything with that stuff. Kinda would like to get back to doing some writing, though currently my head is still a bit messed up and it takes a bit to collect thoughts and write things, but perhaps it might help my situation to try and force myself to do some writing again instead of just reading and doing games and exercises to improve my cognitive function after these concussions.Really do appreciate you explaining that. I would like to read your book.
That all said, I did have someone point out yesterday I think it was that I’m lucky to be alive, the mortality rate for having two concussions within a few days of each other is incredibly high. Struggling with recovering I don’t really feel all that lucky, but I guess it’s a mindset thing. That’s something I really have to work on, trying to change my mindset.
I also discovered (it was early into my recovery) that CBD has positive effects on my condition. I had been using CBD to help with my hip problems and ADD/ADHD prior to the concussions and stopped after the first concussion. Didn’t drink any alcohol or have a cigar or anything. A few days after the second concussion when I was really struggling I went on a search to find out how soon I could return to using CBD and found some medical research saying that CBD consumption within several hours of a concussion can help limit the effects of the concussion and help recovery. So I may have been better off not stopping using it. So after finding that out, I’m back to using CBD. I’ve found that the vape helps with my ADD and stuff but not so much my hip, but it’s more accepted. The bud helps with both but it looks and smells like weed so it’s not so easily consumed. I also have a muscle rub with CBD that helps a lot.
