I was so clueless when this all happened. No knowledge of brain injuries at all. If you feel comfortable after talking to the neurologist, ask him the same question, or ask the nurse. It's worth a try.
I remember only being able to muster, how long til I'm me again.
That was appointment one.
Same for appt. Two I believe.
My family were able to ask more in depth questions which I was oblivious to.
Have someone with you that can follow the conversation, ask pertinent questions, and remember everything.
Peace and wellness,
Jace
