@wcbdata @mcmansionhell I really appreciated this article, thank you. In my line of work, I've assessed many people with concussions, all of which are different (the people, their injuries, their circumstances). Kate's reflections gave me new insight into the myriad chasms facing an injured brain, and how contingent they are on societal factors. (This felt particularly apt: "It’s entirely fair, I think, to call an illness like post-concussion syndrome as much a sociogenic as a cognitive-neurological one.")

I also appreciated her link to Tove Danovich's essay in the Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2023/10/concussion-brain-injury-treatment-recovery/675554/ with its practical recommendations for early rehab (especially vestibular rehab).

Re Bouchard’s inconsistent play in recent months
I heard you (among others) mention this again today @KurtLeavins
Everyone wonders, Why the inconsistency? I wrote about it at https://medium.com/@rev.hanspetermeyer/bouchard-bonk-a4c94c2a7809
Bouchard’s inconsistent play became a “thing” pundits & fans complained about after he experienced a Minor Traumatic Brain Injury via a late & nasty hit. It’s still a thing.

BOUCHARD’S BONK
What happens when a top-four D gets his bean bonked? Does what happened against Tampa Bay explain Evan Bouchard’s bobbles against the Panthers?
My thoughts on bonks & consequences…

@csstrowbridge Yup. Just read that Nurse is out for 5-10 days. With CTE/mTBI these are only best guesses. Boeser out until Nov 30.
And Jeannotte is on the ice again, scoring goals…
And Reaves is out 5 games.
Consequences?

Grrrrr

#nhl #playersafety #accountability #cte #mtbi

This is tough. As someone who’s experienced CTE (aka Mild Traumatic Brain Injury or mTBI), I know that effects can be subtle & long-lasting. Here’s hoping & praying that Nurse, who was playing so well, recovers quickly. Same for Canucks’ Boeser.
ps. I’m not happy with the minor 5 & 3-game suspensions to perpetrators

I am very #MTBI #Keirsey #KTS INTP/INFP, heavy emphasis on the P, which has a lot to do with why I'm terrible at practical and tactical planning for the immediate future in some ways, while conversely being ace at theoretical + strategic planning for the far future in other ways. #Architect

I absolutely cannot get on with J type #personalities (my ex wife, literally the entire rest of my family)

I'm medium I, strong N, half-and-half T & F, and extremely P. That's why I say "iN(t&f)P".

Some of this has come from #writing #creativewriting Can you really write about the thoughts of a person that isn't you? Or do you always shine through, because you are you? #MTBI

Then it got busy at work

#MTBI I had never heard of til #BTS and I did it very quickly this morning, based on two other things going on. #INTJ I guess I went from thinking everyone thought like me ( growing up) to oh not everyone thinks the same ( recently) and doing that test sort of, well there are other people, even if it's Elon Musk, who wonder why .. eg peppering conversations with white lies ( why) continued learning ( why not) small chat at social events (why) ...
