Also in my 60s (50s then) I had a severe TBI. My recovery was gradual rather than having a turning point. If I were to identify a turning point it was when I began to be able to understand WHY I was doing stuff. Example, instead of remembering how to perform an =AVERAGE command in Excel, was "what will this tell me that is important?"

Best to you
Thanks for this.
Having low day today when cannot do a thing because of fatigue. Walked i mile. That's about it. Still off work. I teach and I miss my job SOO MUCH!!
I worry that I have made this worse by reading like mad on first week of injury..and watching TV..no one told me not to! Until ten days in when severe dizziness started and now can hardly type this at 4 weeks. Very down. What is life without reading??
