Episode 13. Attempts To Capture What We Are Dealing With. Early Discussion With Randy

Randy is a friend and person I have gotten to know in an effort to  talk about brain injury problems. He and I speak every week or so. He's also in EMB episode 13. For sure I have had more discussions with him than anyone else about brain injury stuff. Looking back on these recordings I am try to get him to talk about the stuff we had already gotten into over hours and hours of discussion in the the support group, so the discussion sometimes repeat and some topics present themselves in bits and pieces. I agree with a lot of what he is describing as I have had similar, but different brain injury experiences. There is a lot to talk about. For clarification, the introductory statement of this episode is as follows, "If there's any one thing, if there was just one thing for people to really get, which they can't, it's just how fucking consuming it is." It is that consuming quality of brain injury that I speak more about, and I think is so important for others to realize. The nature of what is consuming may be different for each brain injured person because we injured different inner capacities and parts of the brain, but the fact that some problems are internally so consuming seems to be similar for anyone with this kind of injury.Audio quality is not so good, I was recording for the first time in these discussions. I am sorry about that.-----Experiencing My Brain is a podcast devoted to detailed discussion with brain injury survivors about their experiences, problems, and ways that they have found to navigate their lives. These stories are important to help the non brain injured world make sense of the problems that come with brain injury.
