Default New to the forum. Coping with this new life.

It's been a year since my injury or the start of this new life. I am finding the new me and trying to let the old life go. I was a very high acheiver with the letters behind my name/great job/world traveler/etc. Now I am on long term disability, cannot practice my profession, had to abandon my hobbies, and rarely leave the house. I am attempting to regroup and live with the new reality.

I wish I had found this forum sooner. I now know I am not alone. Thanks to everyone for the excellent posts -- at least those I could read.

Reading is very difficult for me. I would appreciate any techniques that people find helpful. I do look for short paragraphs. I also only read a few pages at a time or I pay the price.

I am living one at a time. Thankfully I just started rehab for this MTBI. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
