Welcome to NeuroTalk. I'm sorry you have to deal with PCS...It's really tough, I know.

When I saw that you asked how to fill your days...it reminded me of an old thread and a response by Mark from awhile back. Here's the link to that thread...Read the first reply that was done by Mark. He laid down some pretty good rules, guidelines and a decent schedule for those recovering from a head injury....Check it out:

I wish you the best of luck in your recovery.

Nick

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.

Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.

Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.

Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
