Lonely,
You could use some major hugs, I think! I'm so sorry this all happened around Christmas.
My h is brain damaged too, mostly from car accidents but he's had 20 separate injuries to his head. It's a wonder he can function at all. And, like you, I've noticed how nearly all MD's and other medical people are terribly ignorant about head injury! I think it hasn't been well-taught in med schools. They can save the person's life in a case of bad trauma to the head, but whatever comes after that, in the following weeks, months & years, is a total mystery to most doc's.
We finally found a neuropsychologist who is awesome and has made all the difference. But my h still strugges, 19 months after the last car wreck.
I hope that your h can be helped. Is it from injuries that he has these lesions? How long have you been dealing with these problems?
Can you believe the stupidity of that MRI tech? Maybe the person was new. But then they should have been supervised more closely.
Best and warmest wishes to you and your h.
Susan
