I am usually quite adept at rolling with changes -- as long as they are "natural." I am NOT as good at this when people around me are unnecessarily imposing it upon me. I don't think I am alone in this. I think there are many, many people, brain injuries or not, who experience the same difficulties with man made, unnecessary change. Since my head exploded in 2006, I have realized that the people around me, though they ARE the same people who have pretty much always been around me, are simultaneously seekers of novelty AND paralyzed by change. The only thing different in the equation for me IS my brain injury imposed difficulty with switching gears and adapting. This is MY issue, and I believe it to be MY responsibility to fix it or get control of it as best I can. This injury is MY injury, after all, no matte...
