Thanks everyone I appreciated it!The first thing the Neuropsychologist said to me "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS TEST?ARE YOU READY FOR THE RESULTS?ARE YOU GOING TO BE IN ANY DENIAL?"He asked me 3 times over and over.
I kept saying yes and I been fighting for a year and half with M.D.s to find out what was wrong with me so I am ready!Well got diagnosis after spending a day of testing with this M.D.When he went over the results in a sincere way and stated with this there is no 100% going back to where I was before because the brain change.As Mark said to me he was truthful and he knew my story of how many M.D.s pushed me under the rug till I found the best neuro in the community to get linked with neuropsychologist.
Then they gave me a month and half to absorb it over the holidays.This was I suppose grieving from withdraw from Master's degree, closing my biz, and my old life. And it was time to start quiet rest, get my daughter situated, and apply for disability.
Then when I did disability test a few weeks ago that M.D. even told me that I would not be able to work!
I am going to try school and hope to be able to work one day in years to come when I finish the last therapy on the list which is cognitive therapy. "All I can do is be 100% with myself for the best results and put in all the work because I am the only one that can get to the finish line" That is what all my team of M.D.s tell me, and I believe this
