Hi Amy,

No problem with the length of the post, the more information posted the better we can understand what you are going through. You did a nice job of separating your post into "bite sized" sections which makes it much easier to read and understand.

I should have mentioned that my memory problems gradually improved during the two to five month period after my injury. I remembered faces but had problems with remembering names. I would frequently forget things I said and would repeat myself often. I asked my wife and others around me to let me know when I did this, and that was helpful. I also did math flash card exercises, this helped me remember things like how to do simple addition and multiplication problems (like in grade school).

This is where the neuro psych evaluation can be helpful. It can identify specific deficit areas, and allow the neuropsychologist to recommend specific therapy treatments. I found speech and occupation therapy sessions extremely valuable in this regard.

Wishing you a steady and complete recovery.
