I have trouble with any kind of situation where I get over stimulated such as...family gatherings, lots of loud music or scenes on TV flicking by so fast, all the aisles in the store, stress from hubby...poor guy does not understand and we go round and round. Even trying to handle the finances or follow a recipe will throw me. Can not drive the car, due to not being able to think what to do or concentrate enough to keep my eyes on the road. Since it is 9 months after the wreck I guess this is what I get for the rest of my life.
Still have trouble handling my PCS and it is mostly due to other people not being able to understand what has happened to me. I hate it when people tell me "oh I know, I forget things all the time". NO, they don't understand, MY FORGETTING IS NOTHING LIKE THEIRS, IT IS NOT NORMAL! It isn't from my age of 68 either. Senior moments happen and that is true, not being able to reach for things that have always been there, or not being able to carry on a conversation and remember what was said, is NOT normal nor is it a senior moment. Oh goodness...so sorry I am venting again. Gaye
