Well I'll admit it, I crumble.

I've never had a problem like this before that was basically invisible or that I couldn't just push through no matter what. (I can't count the number of migraines I worked through in my lifetime because I can't bear to miss something at work)

So I've never really experienced the pain of accusations, therefore I'm pretty highly sensitive to it.

I cry. Pretty much every time. I think people are cruel. And then someone defends them saying they don't know any better, and I cry some more, because hurtful people get a defence team, but I don't. I find I expect too much, that people would be kind, and when they show differently I'm so hurt.

It's been a wake up call. I need to be stronger, and let things roll off.

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!
