I could clearly see my areas of struggle and it is all stuff that a well educated person should easily know. When I look at my life before TBI to my life now I am still amazed. I couldn't remember how to multiply or divide!
Interested to see the results, which I have no idea how long it will be.

I felt very let down ("devastated" was the word I used to my neuropsychologist at the time). I also couldn't do basic math, such as 7x4=? on a flashcard.
Healing often takes time. As a data point to foster hope and optimism, I had a follow up NPA 3 months later, the result of which stated:
“On examination, the patient demonstrated intact cognition in all domains assessed including learning and memory, attention, processing speed, language skills and executive functions. He has shown an excellent recovery from his severe injury only five months ago. From a cognitive standpoint there are no concerns with respect to the patient returning to work full time or returning to driving”
BTW on both my NPA's the neuropsychologist went over the summary results at the end of the session, and I had the full report a couple of days later.
Best to you as you continue to recover.
