Hello SnowWhite99,

Is your husband in any kind of follow-up rehab for his head injury? Even though he sounds at a high level of functional mobility, he also sounds like he has some cognitive issues that are persisting.

I would ask your Neurologist or physician who is doing follow-up care with him to suggest Occupational or Speech therapy after you describe these symptoms as you have to us here. No doubt he would benefit from some kind of cognitive therapy.

When you mentioned he has trouble adapting to change of plans, this is fairly common after a head injury. I underwent 5 months of Neuro rehab ( PT/OT/ST), and I have a much better time of dealing with sudden, unexpected changes. I think it was because I was challenged with supervision in that area. Sad to say, I can still get that overload at times, but it is improved.

As you said, he has made a miraculous recovery, but there are obviously still lingering issues. I hope you can get the right help for him to help him heal even further, and for you to find out what this head injury thing is all about, too. Keep in touch. There are a lot of us who are glad to help as we can. Take care, M-i-m
