jaereese,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

Considering the complexity of your injury, you should not be worried about recovery yet. You are still very early in your recovery. With your neck stiffness, you should be very careful with posture, especially when resting or sleeping.

Have you sought any treatment for your stiff neck ? It will probably help. Icing your neck will also be good.

Read the Vitamins and Supplements sticky at the top. It has good info plus instructions for making crushable ice packs.

It will help if you can find some simple manual tasks to be active with. Playing solitaire with real cards. Anything with a low stimulation level to keep your brain blood flowing.

Please give yourself grace as your brain needs time to heal. Stuttering, memory, concentration and such are all common and take time to recover.

My best to you.
