Thank You,

I am tryoing to get a "confirmation" of my diagnosis so I can undergo proper therapy to help with my memory. Processing speed, and other cognotive troubles. It is a school sport related injury so I also need it to be confirmed that it is due to the head injury that I am this way so I can receive coverage for it. It has been a long 1+ year battle and there doesn't seem to be any light at the end of tis tunnel right now.

Luckily my neurologist who first was stubborn to send me for a cognitive eval now wants me to go to a different place to get a full cognitive assessmewnt for TBI. I've decided to wait a week until the head of neuropsych at kessler gets back to me about if I can get seen there again or not.

I also do feel that I just wasn't "as bad" as I need to be to foit their program. Since they are a rehab facility they often take worse cases then mine I guess. We will see what happens
