Dizzy teacher,

You said, "One last thing- have you been given any indication how long it will actually take for you to get well?"

Any medical professional who tries to suggest a recovery timeline has no true understanding of PCS and recovery from concussion. 85% will recover spontaneously in the first 6 weeks. The rest of us can take months to years. There is no way to predict/prognose a timeline.


Lawyer,

If you have retained your high intellect but lost memory functions, you can still perform at a high level. You just need to learn memory work-arounds and other systems. You may not be able to perform verbally without a written script but that does not mean you can not use your intellect to do amazing things.
