It appears you have a good understanding of how to modify your life. That is the first thing and often the hardest. Good for you.

Have you considered trying to do online tutoring for your students. Or, did the classes get canceled? It may be too much cognitive effort but that is an individual issue.

I find it curious that the Amish buggies got there before the ambulance. But the tortoise always beats the hare. I wish I lived where I could use a buggy. A donkey would be a great way to pull a buggy or cart. They are very intelligent. And, they live life at the speed of a PCS brain.

Let us know how we can help you. Lots of experience with PCS here.

My best to you.
I guess I am struggling with ways to help myself. I can get some of it intuitively and think that what helps my children remember tasks, may help me. However, it is frustrating. My wife has starting attaching notes to me, so that I remember what to do. We have 5 children (4 at home). She is a chef and works in town. I can't drive and am often solely responsible for the 4 (all school age: 5-13 the eldest is away at a performing arts school).

I had to give up my classes. I was teaching online and couldn't even respond for a month or so. Another prof took over. A few days before the accident, I had been laid off for next year (student numbers down), so it is a double blow. I can't even apply for anything yet.

We live in the middle of nowhere. There are more Amish households on the road where the accident took place than non-Amish (English) households. I am thinking about a donkey for a guardian animal...
