Hello! I am new here. My dad died in mid January; he had Parkinson's and I had been taking care of him. It was a devastating loss. I was starting to feel a little better and less like I was in free fall when I was in a car accident. A woman came from the shoulder of the road and tried to pass me on the inside of a right-hand turn, and since she was accelerating, she really slammed my car around. I never saw her until mid-collision.

I have really been through it since then. Since I work in the schools I had been waiting until summer to really start on doing the job of combining my dad's stuff and mine into one condo, cleaning mine up and moving back into my own condo. It would have been a daunting job under the best of circumstances, but with a headache it was brutal. I had to pay people to do a lot of things I should have been able to do myself, to some extent even to think about how to pull it all off.

Now I am back to work, but part time and at a different school. I have had OT and Speech tx, and a lot of chiropractic. My doctor has been only minimally involved, but I'm starting to think that's not good. It seems I'm supposed to figure all this out myself and I'm not doing very well at it. In a lot of ways I am better, but have had a headache, light and noise sensitivity, and a pressured feeling in my head almost every day for three months. My balance and speech problems are better and the OT and SLP discharged me last week. How does anybody figure all this out and what to do?
