I would love to hear more about how to focus oxygen on ones frontal lobes. I am familiar with CBT. I posted my story here, but I can't seem to find it tonight. I did begin singing with tapes again and listening to music more often, both recommended on this site. The singing and staying focused on the lyrics has been a shock! I kept being distracted by other thoughts. I had no idea it was that severe. But I just start over and it truly is helping. I have speech problems, wrong word, mispronounce, slight stutter, etc. The singing also comforts me and decreases my anxiety. If I am tired, hungry, or have to drive in traffic, my speech is worse. The day after my injury, my speech made no sense at all, so many wrong words. I am greatful for all of you.

So glad to hear that you're trying the singing! My deficits become much worse when I am tired. Often my body will try to tell me ahead of time that I need to take a break. This is usually in the form of a headache. When I keep pushing forward, too hard, I end up paying the price and then I have to rest. I also have issues with using the wrong word in my speech. So Annoying!! Hang in there and lets keep supporting one another!
