OU results

See before my TBI, I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to be a vet which is hard to get into, so I worked really hard to get there. Then I wanted to do research so worked hard to do that, as I loved investigating the brain.

Then I had my TBI.

When seeing my clinical psychologist afterwards, she used to explain something to me that made me squirm and outright object to. I just couldn't acknowledge it and it made me grumpy and uncomfortable.

She used to draw graph of intelligence against age. She drew a line to show normality. She said I was above average intelligence and that my TBI brought me down to 'normal'.

I question whether I'd be able to do now all the stuff I used to before my TBI. That's why me doing OU has been so important to me. I got a module result from my yearlong module today and I got a distinction, 85 percent. I used to hide any pleasure of achieving anything, before my injury. I'm the same today, but it means one hell of a lot more to me now, than anything I got before my TBI!
