For those of you wondering how my back to work has been now 2 weeks later. i've worked 5 night shifts. And after the first week, my headaches were back during my off days and my fatigue was pretty strong. I just finished up 2 more shifts and although my headaches have been coming on during the shifts (which fiornal and tylenol have been taking care of them), i feel cognitive strong and energy wise strong.

I've mixed up my words and stuttered a little bit, but overall making great assessments, catching things doctors or other nurses have missed, and have been commended multiple times for my pick ups and figuring out problems with our ICU patients. Not too shabby for the brain injured girl!!

Heres to hoping i can rest up for my next 3 days off and come back feeling better on Monday night. Feeling hopeful. close to 16 weeks post TBI and PCS.
