good video
yes, that video on youtube is really powerful. It will help explain a lot to your family. My mom watched it and my daughter (16 at the time) watched some of it too.
Everything Mark told you is really good advice. You will find support here too. We all "get" it and you can vent, ask questions, and find help here too.
Please know there is hope in all of this. And brain healing is a marathon of learning your triggers and working around them.
As for recovery, try to keep a track of what you could do. Brain healing takes months and weeks. It's not chartable like bone healing, but there is healing.
Hang in there!

[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.
