Mark, thanks for the advice. I decided to go into the Drs office with a more open mind this morning. I really like this Dr. Probably because she was positive and upbeat.

The new Dr. decided to try me on ritalin to begin with to see if that helps with the distractability. The main thing is that it's not supposed to make me dopey. I have read some positive things from other adults who are taking it for concentration problems. I do not know if they have TBI or not though.

You know anything about the use of ritalin with TBI patients?

I restart physical therapy next week and start speech therapy for the first time. I have hope that it will the key to getting me to where I want to be.
