< Lumosity? What surprised me the most is that I thought I was doing well cognitively too and boy was I surprised when I started trying to do mental tasks and learned that I'm nowhere near where I was before. > What is Lumosity?
Just found this group. Slow speed motorcycle accident. Decided not to wear my skid lid that day coming home. Hit my head and ended up ICU out for a few hours. Gold Wing was totaled. Checked myself out early and got staff to take me home, very confused. Started cognitive rehab shortly after and the testing showed me what I was missing and the tech gave me work a rounds which were great. Otherwise how do you know~!! She was actually a speech therapist at Tampa General Hospital. They told me no improvement after a year. Now 3 years and still see some improvements once in a while. Still cannot enjoy a novel and I was a book worm. Short term memory problems makes it not fun anymore. I think my technical work and being on the computer so much helps. I used to play games and cards but don't enjoy anymore.. again short term memory problems. I now realize what a good brain I had as seem to be reminding staff all the time. If I had only had my helmet on, I would have walked away from the accident. Florida passed a no helmet law and its amazing to see how many NEVER wear one. A group called ABATE lobbied to change the law. We do stupid things at times and regret for a lifetime.
