Welcome to NT.
Regarding my injury and recovery, my TBI was considered moderate to severe; GCS was 11 upon hospital admission, with a skull fracture and an epidural hematoma with subarachnoid hemorrhage that required craniotomy surgery.
Recovery took about 5 months, first two was in the hospital. Early neurological testing (2 months in) showed significant deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition. After 3 additional months of outpatient therapy, neuropsychological examination indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning. Those close to me indicate a similar return to prior social and personality.
That said, all brain injuries are different and they heal at their own pace.
When was your injury and what specific symptoms are the most problematic now? Lots of support available here.
Best to you.
