I am reading this and feel a little embarrassed in a way to post since I am only 6 weeks out and fortunate from all I am reading. I am still not 100%; my husband says 75% but I feel fortunate. I am going to post anyway. Here is where I am.

Driving still a challenge. I tried last Sunday. Took my daughter on fairly straight roads to get coffee- not for me. I stopped where there wasn’t a stop sign; drove slow. Too much to think about. Had to rest for a few hours after. I had described all the things I was trying to pay attention to which I usually take for granted. My daughter said now you know how I feel trying to learn. :-).

At times it has felt very scary. I listen to my healing music and relax or if my husband around he holds my hand or holds me. I truly believe I will be back to 100% and of course when I have setbacks there is the fear of what if.

Its hard with extra stimulation. That pressure feeling comes and if I don’t go rest, I get cold. My body temp regulation is off at times. Sometimes I think I am like an old person. Feels like my house is my safe space. We have moved. My husband got us help our previous housekeeper and her husband. They were a G-d send. They were like my hands and sometimes mind and patient. Gave me something to do.

I ventured to the gym Thurs - my husband dropped me off and came back and got me. I was totally overwhelmed. I worked with my trainer on simple machines - didn’t do much. Sometimes I closed my eyes or just focused on one place. Came home & slept for an hour woke up completely dizzy went back to sleep for another two. Let much better. One of the trainers told my husband I looked really bad.

Other than that, I do not go out yet. Yesterday I didn't wear my ear plugs all day. I can watch tv and be on the computer within reason without headaches. I cannot watch if too much movement with light & sound etc. What I am realizing is I am not the best judge of me right now. When I thought I was at 85% -very astute Mark In Idaho- my husband told me I was more like maybe 50% functioning. I am taking all my vitamins by the way that you recommended and also another one a trainer who had a concussion recommended -German Creatin. Supposed to help the brain (not only muscles) during a concussion. It hasn't hurt me that I can tell
and I keep improving.

Thanks for listening. I am thankful for you all. So grateful for the support.
