Thankfully, this did get better in time. Eventually I could hear the show but not watch it still. Then, finally after months, I could watch it too. Yet even now, three years later, I still have times watching a show is too much. These photosensitivity warnings are something I used to try to skip past to get movies and shows started. Now, they can save my entire day from overstimulation. It is funny how I always noticed these warnings before my injury, but never understood how truly difficult something so routine and regular like watching a television show or movie could be with sensitivity to light, sounds and rapid changes to process. https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/time monthly 0.5 2026-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698774b85f53d63f95b64c90/133d8538-cb36-4aca-a89a-ffb8893aef73/img_2845-0.png Fog of Hope Blog - Navigating Time After My Injury Today is Daylight Savings Time where we artificially adjust time. An “hour” of time just elapsed in less than a second. While not the same as these experiences of time within brain injury recovery, the reality experienced is often quite similar. How is it now an hour later without feeling like any time has passed and no idea how I got here in this new room or what I am doing? Weren’t we just eating? Imagine Daylight Savings Time adjustments occurring all of the time and unpredictably without warning. For caregivers repeating the same conversation with the patient, like the “Fall Back” hour, wasn’t it already this time of day??! This conversation again?! For me, pondering the difficulties experienced from this phenomenon leads to the question of why this is happening? Why can’t I just experience time like normal again? https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/whose-lens-are-you-looking-through monthly 0.5 2026-03-01 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/circling-the-drain monthly 0.5 2026-03-01 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/a-little-closer-to-death monthly 0.5 2026-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698774b85f53d63f95b64c90/e05d791b-caa6-4305-b881-437c3c7bff35/ashes+on+forehead Fog of Hope Blog - A Little Closer to Death - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/wwwcreedthoughtsgovwwwcreedthoughts monthly 0.5 2026-03-01 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/welcome monthly 0.5 2026-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698774b85f53d63f95b64c90/5c2ebdda-49bc-4429-99f6-e1b188e662f9/walking+through+fog Fog of Hope Blog - Welcome to Fog of Hope - The New Fog Now, I’m in a different type of fog: the fog of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) recovery, specifically Post-Concussive Syndrome (PCS) following my injury in May 2023. In the first years, the fog felt dark, alone, and confusing. Now, it still can – but there is hope within the fog. I don’t mean the hope I used to think of - with getting out of the fog back to the sunny day someday - (although we all hope for that). But rather, the hope I’m referring to is a hope that can be found, experienced, and lived even amidst the densest parts of the fog TBI survivors and their families experience. I’m no expert. I share only my experiences, lessons learned personally, insights from those who’ve walked ahead or beside me, and knowledge from doctors working to clear the haze. The fog may seem vague and intangible, (nebulous, even ), difficult to describe and nearly impossible to touch, yet it’s painfully tangible for those living it. https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/SISTERS monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/PCS monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/BLOGGING monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/FATIGUE monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/SURVIVOR monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/BABY monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/DEATH monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/CONCUSSION monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/ALONE monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/%23FOGOFHOPE monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/RECOVERY monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/SUPPORT monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/LOVE monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/POST+CONCUSSION+SYNDROME monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/NAPS monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/COMMUNITY monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/DIZZY monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/MEMORY monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/CAROLE+J+STARR+MS monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/TBI monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/ACCEPTANCE monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/HOPE monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/LENS monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/TIRED monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/BIRTHDAY monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/LONELINESS monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/JOURNALING monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/TODDLER monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/TIME monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/HOLIDAYS monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/THE+OFFICE monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/REST monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/RELATIONSHIPS monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/CONCUSSION+RECOVERY monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/ZOMBIE monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/TRAUMATIC+BRAIN+INJURY monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/TBI+RECOVERY monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/LEADERSHIP monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/EMOTIONS monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/CREED+BRATTON monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/NORMAL monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/blog/tag/VORTEX+FUNNEL monthly 0.5 https://www.fogofhope.com/home daily 1.0 2026-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698774b85f53d63f95b64c90/dbfa626f-f40b-4c7f-ae03-8aa4da2d66a6/Fog+Of+Hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698774b85f53d63f95b64c90/7feb8c0c-f93a-40fc-8816-c22e667545f8/instagramfollow.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698774b85f53d63f95b64c90/f92ebd7f-2b30-40d1-9751-9ddb5a6d4d8b/image+%282%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698774b85f53d63f95b64c90/15060c05-10f6-4708-8768-3794bd82cae2/follow+on+facebook https://www.fogofhope.com/about daily 0.75 2026-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698774b85f53d63f95b64c90/bd71d0a2-f1d6-43e0-9075-f14bf47c05cd/Fog+of+Hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698774b85f53d63f95b64c90/bef21c83-6240-4ba4-97ed-9de35f1f691d/fogofhopelogo.png https://www.fogofhope.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698774b85f53d63f95b64c90/bef21c83-6240-4ba4-97ed-9de35f1f691d/fogofhopelogo https://www.fogofhope.com/donate daily 0.75 2026-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225259531-0HK0SKZ3FR5VOEIG39FB/Rectangle+26.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225322403-8M32U1NK41JYCCJQCWP7/Rectangle+25.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225298850-6RK21Y7YG7VPMPS9NQT9/Rectangle+27.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225322403-8M32U1NK41JYCCJQCWP7/Rectangle+25.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225259531-0HK0SKZ3FR5VOEIG39FB/Rectangle+26.jpg Donate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755286226001-8R0K2W3NRTYXQ4KWAFD4/imgg-demo-EpGLe4Je.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1756327774962-127GUGOLQ3HGXE0MA9F5/imgg-demo-ewtBxNR1.png https://www.fogofhope.com/links daily 0.75 2026-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/698774b85f53d63f95b64c90/bf59cec1-ea91-40ae-9d76-0a6f1bc8f769/fogofhopelogo.png https://www.fogofhope.com/tbi-resources daily 0.75 2026-03-20
