I've had a rough couple of days, stressing out over the appeal, and trying to research what to do about it. If anything, it's confirmed for myself that computer work is nearly impossible. As primary breadwinner for the household, it's pretty scary that I won't be paid again for many months (after going back to work, assuming that happens soon) unless this is resolved quickly.

At this point, I'm going to aim to get medical statements from at least 2 more doctors. There's a sports medicine clinic in town that claims to have a concussion specialist, and I'm hoping to see the local neuropsychologist. There's also a concussion center an hour away that can do the impacttest that I might try for. This is all assuming I can see the appropriate people before my 30 days runs out.

I'm also going to get a letter from my manager describing that my job involves concentrating on a computer screen all day, and letters from friends, and family describing the difficulties they've witnessed.

My husband is going to try to get together some medical journals describing the severity of concussions, and ideally talk about computer work. (If anyone has any handy, I'd love to be linked!)

I think I'm toast for the day... Off to bed.
