Well, I have since had a couple of CranioSacral therapy sessions by a very experienced person. She understands brain injuries not only from her work, but she had a life threatening event herself after contracting a severe and rare form of erlichiosis that made all her organs shut down, intensive care, etc. etc. She has fully recovered...or at least enought to resume her life. Anyway, she felt that the "whoosh" I felt (remember, mine was the very next day after my accident) was cerebrospinal fluid releasing from the pressure of my chair on a key spot on the back of my head. She said that probably saved me from increased swelling in my head and that I was very lucky it happened. That makes sense to me, as it felt like something was moving inside my head as the warmth traveled on the right side of my head. I cried as the adjustment was made inside my skull perhaps? Anyway, this far along I am doing so much better, but still wary of things...am I just getting used to the way I feel or is it actually better. I made several mistakes telling time on a non digital clock this week...I feel like I may have disinhibition, saying things to people that I might not normally share so quickly, my processing sometimes is slow, like a massage client will give a sypmtom and it will take until the next session or so for me to put it together as to how to help them (where in the past, it woud have been immediate). I don't want to use the accident as excuses for my behavior or lack there of, but I think it is still a major factor. It gets hard when people want to forget that I even had an accident and that I look fine now.
