Alas no magic answer to his query. I was rushing to a meeting and took a nasty fall headfirst onto a concrete slab.
I am almost 18 months from the injury and still have many symptoms -- diminished executive functions, memory issues, word finding issues, headaches, noise/light sensitivity.
I am currently attending an out-patient extensive brain rehab program. It took over 14 months post-injury to get the insurance company to approve rehab. The good news is that I am still seeing improvement. Just yesterday my friend remarked on my progress (and I'm even slightly over 40 although I never admit it
).
