Yes, it is remarkable progress. But, we have no idea how may work-arounds and other accommodations he uses daily to function at his current level.

Too many people, including doctors and other professionals, like to use the term FULL recovery. It creates an opportunity for PCS sufferers to expect a full recovery if they just wait long enough. Any recovery from prolonged PCS requires effort, a change in expectations, and sacrifice.

There are many trade-offs required to get to maximum recovery.

A more realistic term could be 'good recovery.'

I still have many symptoms and limitations but could easily lead a large organization like a ball team if I was allowed a few accommodations. But, it would take a remarkable organization to accommodate me.

I bet Mike proved himself in the front office and was able to establish the accommodations needed for him to function as Manager.

Good for him and for the Cardinals.
