How would u feel if you found outthat you had had a TBI by reading your CT scan results.would you be upset? I am livid now. That i know from school

I don’t know where you live but in the USA we have ‘sleep clinics’ in some areas. They monitor your sleep overnight in the clinic and can make assessments of problems that may be hindering proper sleep.
My soft palate was removed after the sleep clinic noted I had a ‘floppy palate’ that was hindering proper sleep.
No problem since.

It appears we all understand what is being said. Since this is a kindly, helpful, polite place to ‘talk’ to others I probably wouldn’t include pettiness for this venue.

"Struck by" does not include vehicles, this is from the slide.

"These injuries are the result of being unintentionally struck by another person or an object — including falling debris"

I experienced TBI after a serious car accident when the driver hit me by running a red light at 40 miles an hour. I was in natural comma for a day and they had to induce comma for over 4 weeks. Thank God I am alive and am not disabled. The only problem I with my natural sleep cycle. I do and can sleep well over 7 hours but it's never enough and as soon as I wake up I want to go back to deep sleep which is never possible. I have been an extraordinary person through out my life. Me an my wife three smart children with God's help. Does anyone a tip for me to gain back my natural sleep.?

9% can be those of us who were in immediate concussive areas of landmines more than once

It is like "Murphy's Law", that I fall into the small 9%!

Maybe you should have read the slide on "struck by". It me means being struck by or against an object.

I think they mean just being hit in the head by something, someone or anything.
What in the world is a "struck by" TBI? Does it man struck by a car? If so, that is a traffic incident.
