Wow, many have posted on this thread.
To answer a few of the questions that are alike.
1. When you start to feel better, and want to go back to work.
a. I found its best to start back slowly, When I went back I
worked 2 to 3 hours a day. And only 2 or 3 days a week, and only
if I really felt good.
2. I could only increase my days to 4 to 6 hours after say 6 weeks.
a. But could work that many hours a day 1 day a week after a couple
weeks, but had to take the next day off.
Vestibular therapy, is wonderful for many. It was a life saver for me.
But it was honestly something that had been going on in my life for
50 years. There is no knowing what started my problems.
A. The PT was very good that I worked with. If I worked with one
that wasn't. I could make sure I got food ones the next time.
Exercise. The best way to do this, is to have your doctor send you
to Physical Therapy, just long enough for them to help you figure out
a home plan.
A. You can give them a idea what kind of equipment your gym has.
Lots of times they have things close if not just like it. And can guide
you to what amount is okay.
B. I did lots of this kind of exercise. I honestly miss this.
I have had many concussions, so I have learned many things. I have
also learned that its not good to send our children back to a sport to
soon. Please be careful that way. Their life is much more important.
And honestly thats all you need to tell them, or other family members.
