My accident was in early Feb. I was in bed for the first month, unable to walk by myself. Now I am walking more, yet struggle to walk to the end of our driveway (about a city block). It is frustrating because before the accident I was running at least 3 miles a day and working out for an additional hour each day...Muscle atrophy and Weight gain!!
Anyway, what the docs told me I will repeat, focus on getting your brain better. Weight does not matter right now.
Oh, and yes, I notice the low blood sugar thing now too!
