Thanks everyone.

Trying to take it day by day. Nothing gives me anxiety quite like parenting does, because there's so little I can control or protect him from.

I do my best though. If I could I'd have him in a helmet and bubble wrap every day.

He had a symptom free day today. Hoping for more...

Here's some irony, sort of:

Watching him for PCS symptoms has increased my own. Ugh. anxiety is not my friend.

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime.

NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time.

About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me!
