Please speak to your MD. Head injuries heal so slowly, but perhaps he can help you find avenues that will help you find hope. Someone to talk to? a medication to help the brain fog?

You said you have kids, have you taken time out to take care of you? Allow them to go on play dates with other families or even your family while you heal? Sleep, and rest is so important when allowing your brain to recover. Its a slow process, but thats exactly what it is, a process. Frustrations, and aggravations are part of that.

Be kind to yourself. Dont push yourself till you are so tired you cant think. Have you see the butyoudontlooksick.com spoon theory? We are all given an alloted amount of energy units to get thru the day (spoons) and if you run out...its hard! Sometimes we borrow from tomorrow to get thru today. Try to use some brain teasers or cross words, or read stories, but dont push yourself past the point of frustration. Just a bit of practice each day. even a puzzle with the kids can be fun, and help to retrain your brain.

Tons of helpful stuff out there, I hope more folks chime in with ideas. ((hugs))
