I'm right there with you.
My car accident was last September - a drug dealer was being chased by the police no less BUT I did my civic duty and they at least caught the guy! Though he was probably home out on bail before I was home from the hospital
I too lost my 35+ year teaching career. I miss the little ones terribly! I had just finished my PHD a couple of years ago, so sadly I had not put it to complete use.
My symptoms are pretty much in line with yours as well. It don't dirve and also walk off and leave the stove on.
I just had a neuropsych evaluation a week ago so it'll be interesting to see what it says.
