Happy Late Birthday, mTBI! (Or, Brain Damage is my Superpower)

On around Jan 17th 2023, I got fucking beaned in the face during gym class at point blank range. Little skinny kid kicked a soccer ball in my face 2 feet away at most. Sent me for a fucking whirl but I was fine until 2 days later where I developed a giant bruise on my face and felt so sick and disoriented and the nurse acted like I was so stupid and that I was only in pain because I was stupid. False! I started vomiting nonstop and had to go home, but my mom thought it was my nerves and didn't want to bring me to the ER until she called the physician and she told my mom I could die from a brain bleed. 

About 2 years ago I had to take a super fucking big state test. If I got lower than an 85 on it I'd be put in dummy English (and my mom would kill me!!!). The head injury screwed me the fuck up and I became severely dyslexic for a month afterwards. Say, for example, if I read the word "burger" it'd look like "xdatyi" and then if I focused it could either look like "burger" or "dulgel" which I'd misread as "duffel". Not good. Icky. I suffered so much during that test but I got an 86. And when I retook it in the summer just to see if I could score better I got an 80. 


Brain damage is my super power I guess
