You are right, this is not at all what I am familiar with.
I have only known one person with acute head trauma (motor cycle accident) and he had severe brain damage so that he couldn't communicate accept with a symbols board. He didn't have a seizure condition though.

I did have some colleages in the early nineties who considered themselves experts on head trauma. Their whole thing was "quality of life issues." The way they presented it was that a person with head trama should be supported to live a quality life and the definition of "quality" is very individual to each person. Is this the philosopy where you live?

Well I see we have at least one thing in common.....head trauma.

My brain injury came from an automobile accident and I have made a complete recovery (with just a slight short term memory problem and a very small scar.).

Your injuries are far more traumatic and long lasting and I can only imagine how you are coping. I know there are several head injury support organizations, you may want to check some of them out.

Head trauma is a very difficult injury. I still have some PTS symptoms from mine, but overall I just feel lucky to have come out of the accident in one piece.
