Aphasia

So my TBI caused me to have aphasia, which I knew nothing about. & I imagine you don’t either, so let me introduce it.

My aphasia is mainly making me have to learn how to walk again, but the most common type of aphasia is Broca’s aphasia(the language part of the brain). This affects the frontal lobe of the brain. In this circumstance, they may have paralysis in their right side, probably expecting why my right eye is blind.

Those with aphasia usually have damage on the left side of the brain. This controls movements on the right side of the body.

Aphasia is common for those without brain injury, where stroke survivors will have aphasia. It’s estimated that more than 2.5 million people are living with aphasia in the US alone.
