  • Right brain injuries often change us in many ways, including our personality and cognition. We can lose memory, attention, visual-spatial skills, orientation, mood, planning abilities, etc. Eugene Speech-Language Therapy works with people who have had a right brain injury.

    After my right brain injury from ruptured aneurysm I had a really hard time convincing people I was now a 2-step person.
    How many times I’d try to explain it they would retort, “oh, it’s really easy. Just go down this hall to the 3rd door on the left. After you turn you will see 2 sets of double doors. Use the…”
    Once the 3rd part of direction the 1st part would drop off the sequence for me.
    That followed through the entire set of directions.
    I just gave up after I tried explaining why I needed written directions (which all too OFTEN still confused me because I’d get lost moving thru each step because I’d have to remember which step I did previously AND figure out what was the next step while trying to figure out what stage of the set of directions I was currently.
    If you only keep 2 in a sequence, often times the middle step that you are on can be the part you lose.
    It’s a very bizarre thing.
    My life has become very small & repetitive because of it so I’m not living a chaotic cycle that is disheartening to myself.
    ~ but ~ fun fact is that when you don’t really make memories - time has no value. I rarely miss someone that I haven’t seen in a very long time, including my adult aged kids.
    I had a busy, productive 10-ring circus before I was 38. Now I’m 50 & hang in very tight to the one ball life I live to live peacefully within my head.
    For anyone else living through this please remember…
    We may lose memories, but sometimes we don’t lose intelligence.
    Memory problems is like living a day in the same type of recall as a person that wakes up & can recall a dream & tell it in detail.
    After 1 day they can remember the basic info of dream theme.
    A week later they remember very little, maybe just a person or place of that dream.
    A few weeks later it’s COMPLETELY gone.
    That’s how I am now.

    Very helpful. I wish I had thought of looking for these videos after my diagnosis. I tick a lot of these boxes and didn't get the most competent neurologist. It was 4 yrs before I got a 3T MRI and that finally found my damage. Poor short term memory, vicious mood swings, total confusion. I still struggle with these things 7 years later.

    I have a right hemisphere placed vp shunt . I have some trauma to the area as it has suffered both over inflation of a ventricle and near slit collapse . I can tell you the mild mood disturbances and issues go even more deep as I have been diagnosed with Non Verbal Learning disorder . Interestingly enough while my Fine Motor skills took a hit from this another area in the right you did not mention , my verbose language skills have increased exponentially . There are trade offs with the injury sometimes , another thing is as the brain retools itself help the person find the bright spots . I spent my entire life from 6 till 33 not knowing that key part . So I still struggle with it . Cognitive impairment sucks and yes sometimes when over stressed its hard to keep calm and not get discombobulated .

    I got in a terrible car wreck when I was 3 right side of my head got tbi I died but they brought me back wish in the 80s they new what they know now not once in my 38 years alive has any doctor considered my tbi after watching this brief run down ..my mom never considered my injury as to why I can't remember things Easily math I forget the formulas n lose track of numbers I've always thought there's something wrong but idk my mom would just shove pills down my throat, Im so disorganized I have a hard time lining up my thoughts to actually complete tasks I hate it gives me anxiety cuz I want to be organized, I'm very artistic but I find when I draw left side of things I struggle where if I draw on right it's fluid always chalked it up to just being right handed ... My mom ran a stop sign ... I feel like my whole life got stolen n not one time did I ever here tbi or traumatic brain injury it was ohhh he just has a.d.d pisses me off I battled this inner bs monster my whole life when Drs could have properly addressed it at a early age would have been nice to be aware of the symptoms n changes following a injury but I had to wait 38 years lol I've been getting worse especially with memory and disorganization panic attacks been trying to figure it out feel like it's the tbi and now I'm finally aware of it ...
