I have been told I will recover 100% so many times by well-meaning or uninformed medical professionals that it's lost meaning.

Predicting the future is futile, all we have is today.

When it comes down to it, managing our expectations seems to be a waste of energy, because all we have is today. No one knows. What is 100% anyway? What does "recovered" even mean? It varies from person to person because its all a matter of perception.

Try to let it go. You don't answer to anyone but yourself when it comes to your recovery. Who is to say that you won't someday feel healed?

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!
