reinvent, yes
Hello Mark,
Mark in Idaho nailed some really good points.
Reinventing is really true. we all have to do some of this with our PCS.
I will work in an elementary school in the fall -- though I had 20 years and all kinds of lessons for my job in middle school. I know I can't handle the stress of middle school anymore, so I had a chance to change and I am. I am taking a leap of faith that it will be all right.
See what you can change in order to get to a better life. I am blessed because we do live in the country. I love hearing birds now and all kinds of nature. I liked it before, but I need it now.
Take care and hang in there.
Sincerely,
pm

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013.
Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines,
Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something.
Therapy I had: vestibular
3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling.
9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms.
I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery.
Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired.
