Thanks, greenfrog! I live and die by the hourly bill and have typically worked 55-70 hour week in addition to whatever other community service I try to get in.
What you said about supportive family... I have an awesome wife who has already said if need be she is willing to "downsize" and "simplify" our life... I am thinking the first step is to get the Neuro's recommendation and the eval and then see what I can do about adjusting my work.
Speaking of community service, I had also read that PCS tends to cause one to become self-absorbed and to focus on helping others instead. I noticed you and Mark spend a lot of time commenting and helping other here...
Do you find any relief/recovery in anything like that--does that help, to refocus your attention to other people?
