Default Too early to tell, having a down day

I recieved my cuncussion only several weeks ago. At work a large door in the ceiling came down and hit me in the back of the neck and skull. After some inquiries I figured out the impact at +2200 pounds. Sounds like alot but I do not suffer nearly as bad as many of the threads I have read. Pretty sensless actually as a safety protocol was ignored and an accident occured. Yes I sought legal advice, had to actually, the co. I work for was railroading me right back to work. Did not actually get a work restriction until after my second ER visit and first hospital stay. Some of the symptoms of a mild TBI expeirences still occur. Probably the worst for me is not knowing if I will return to work or not. I almost hope not, as the co. I work for is NOT employee friendly and I am certain this will end my employment of thirteen+ years. At 50 and blue collar not sure what I can do. Before I worked with PLCs, electronics, controllers and computers. Now all the Dr restrictions allow is very light gardening which gives me a thumping bad headache after an hour. I know the intellect and expierence that earned me my living is compromised I am just unsure if it is temporary and/or what degree. Sick and tired of waiting, doubting and worrying. Thanks for allowing me to be heard. If it was not for this website I would have felt completely alone in this awful expeirence.

Cuncussion with 30 minutes or less unconciousness
