Hi and welcome. You have a good list, I don't see any things there that would be detremental.

Here are some additional things I have found useful:

Mindfulness meditation. Simple activities such as the eating of an apple can be good opportunities to practice mindfulness.

Yoga. I'm just beginning my practice 2 years after my TBI, but I find it valuable, it adds a physical component to mindfulness.

Massage therapy.

Best to you as you continue to recover.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.

Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.
