Sadly, we TBI patients aren't always the best judges of how we're performing. Honestly, I didn't realize just how many deficits I was battling. However, once I knew, I got working on them. I have made a much better cognitive recovery than my neurologist predicted initially. That wouldn't have happened without the neuro-psych to document my injuries and get me into the proper treatment.
That is a really good way of looking at it. I know initially it was shocking, but then it was almost a relief that I had this formal report confirming what I was struggling with alone. Now I need to figure out how to move forward.
