My name is Melanie. My dad showed me this website. His user name on here is milksnakeAZ, by what he tells me, alot of you already know about my brain injury.
Being here, talking about my cituation, Im hoping to meet different people with similar thoughts, feelings. Ive got a brain injury, I should mention that my memory is not as good as it once was, so if there ever comes a time that I forget someones name or say something again that I might of already said before, or i don't answer a message, or anything else, please bear with me, my memory isnt exactly at its best, and I repeat myself cause I forget that I have already said it before, please let me know, bring it to my attention, so I can be more aware and I'll try not to repeat it from happening again.

Melanie
