Default Return to Work

Hi everyone,

I am new here. I'll ask my question first then give some info about my situation so you don't have to wade through a bunch of text to find the question. Screens and reading are very difficult for me so I'll need to be brief. Plus, did a quick search as I'm sure this has been asked and answered but my brain has its limits!

What type of work do/did you do? How long until you returned to work? How was that decision made? I have a PhD and recently moved from a faculty to administrative role. Concussion #3 on July 17, 2014. Usual litany of symptoms. Not able to work. Had MRI....no bleeds. Referred to UPMC concussion center. Since appt there, doing visual, vestibular, and physical therapy. ImPact scores were scary to me but I don't know what they typically are for others. My percentiles were: verbal memory 44 th ; visual memory 13th; processing speed 33rd, and reaction time 4th. Need to ask when I return next week what the reference group is!

Ok...nausea setting in. Bye tour now.
