I don't know your personality type... I am an A type: I push myself, I like stuff done right and completed, I like everybody happy and I am use to multi-tasking and getting it all done even when I have to do it alone. Even my hobbies were long-term, indepth things like hand quilting, counted cross-stitch and genealogy research. That was before I took a hit on the head last September. The stress of not being able to do that which I did before the tree fell on my head, is my greatest enemy. For when I realize I just spent a day and didn't finish a task that use to take 2-3 hours I am frustrated. Or when I have 3 people asking questions at 1 time and I can't understand anything they are saying I am frustrated. ANd when I am on the phone or trying to figure a little math problem in my hand and can't put 2 thoughts together, I get frustrated. And anytime I get myself in a position where I am frustrated my head starts shooting of shots of pain that stop me in my tracks and leave me in tears. My advice avoid the stressors and trying to do things you use to do or at least give yourself some grace as you do them. Give yourself the extra time, accept that you aren't who you were and be content to do your best and call it done. Good luck, sherry
