So I got my head scanned and lo and behold, fucking white matter lesions just superior to the claustrum in my frontal lobe. So that explains my executive dysfunction. Seeing as that can’t be treated with ritts, what job should I do that doesn’t require planning and organisation, but does pay the bills? I am not good at my current job and need to switch for my mental health.
kind of a leap but what about a trade?
I would but it requires going through certification where I live. That means defaulting on my mortgage while I’m an apprentice and then several years before I get the same pay as I’m getting now.
some trades have something called apprenticeship contract meaning you get paid while you learn
Ok dammit. I guess what are somethings you don’t want to do?
i don’t know anything about this but could they study your injury and you work as a participant in the study? (side hustle?)
Unfortunately they don’t have much of a neurology department where I live, and I doubt I’d get paid much if they did.

This is really terrible news. I’m very sorry for what you’re going through. Sadly I just have no advice because I don’t know anything about this stuff.
I will pray for you in the cathedral today

I appreciate that you’re thinking about me. I would point out, however that this is not a recent occurrence. I suspect it is the result of repeated blows to the head, throughout my childhood. It doesn’t seem to impact anything other that organisation/concentration.
I actually expected to find something (not necessarily lesions) in pretty much the exact place that it was. I’m just really glad it’s not a brain tumor.

I am sorry you got hit as a kid… It’s a good reminder to us all to be careful and loving.
