I wrote my post when I just woke up and forgot to say the important things and the reason I was replying.

There were several things that slowed down my recovery during the first year. If I had known then what I know now, and especially from learning from here at NT, I would have had a much faster recovery and would probably not have had the constant balance and vertigo issues that have plagued me.

Not in any particular order...

One thing was unknowledgeable doctors.
Second was that I was single mum with 2 young teens and one with special needs and needing 100% supervision so I battled on when I should have asked for help.
Third was probably extra money that would have allowed me to get better treatments immediately and better health insurance.
Fourth was my own lack of knowledge about PCS.
