I found Headway to be very supportive, so you are absolutely doing the right thing in going to see them. They are also very supportive on the phone also.
I would love to chat with you sometime.
All the best,

Hi there
Thanks for your offer to Chat. I now live in Dorset. Whereabouts are you. I had a Neuro Physio assessment at Headway on Thursday. I was so pleased with it. It would seem my coordination is not too good and I'm seeing an ophthalmologist soon as well. She thinks my balance will improve and it's a case of using my right side again as much as possible to remind my brain that it's there.
When I was in South Africa I did not speak to anyone regarding my injury and was fed up as people would see me and think I was 100% which I knew I wasn't. It's so nice to have spoken to other TBI people and get ideas at my expectations.
Chat soon
Debbie
