kkupka,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear of your injury. I can understand your frustration.

I went through similar frustration back in 1965. I was frustrated that the first would not let me out of the hospital, then they would not let me go back to school. I found out years later that it was because they could tell that my brain was till struggling. My speech was slow and sometimes slurred.

There are symptoms that are obvious to the doctor but not to you. The doc would not want to push your brain until it has finished regaining a minimum level of recovery. As EstheresDoll said, he is probably not wanting to push your brain too fast.

Brain injury recover takes three things.

Time

Rest,

Quiet,

and number 4, more time, rest and quiet.

Try to be patient. Anxiety is counter to brain recovery.

My best to you.
