Your recovery plan looks a lot like mine did; specifically I was also in neuro-rehab (both in and outpatient) receiving occupational, physical and speech therapy. Like you I also worked half days for a couple of months before I was ready to resume work full time.

Regarding what else you can do, as I mentioned to you before, I believe that maintaining a positive outlook is important to recovery. I had a lot of the same emotional thoughts as you, fear of the future included. Talk about those fears to the therapists and counselors you are seeing in the rehab clinic. If your rehab counseling center has group sessions talk about your anxiety and fears there. If not, join a TBI support group.

There are positive things going on. You are already back working half days. Your wife is noticing changes. People recover. The night of my accident my neurosurgeon didn’t think I was going to make it. I did. In the hospital I didn’t know the answer to a flashcard that showed “7 + 4 =?”. All that got better. Back to work over two years now and enjoying life.

Glad they are scheduling the neuropsychologist exam. Wishing you continued progress.
