Default New reality

I have also been told i will not be 100 percent. I am a 52 years old single Mother of four (Three teenagers at home ). Prior to my accident March 2012, i was a Self employed bookkeeper Working on average 60 hours per week, i was told Pretty Early on that i would never be able to work those hours again, i have post concussion syndrome, post traumatic vision syndrome and vision mid line shirt syndrome. I can only Read and watch TV for limited amount of time and using the computer gives me a headache after about a half hour. It. Can get discouraging thinking about your future, but i am happy to know i have a future. I also believe that i set an example for my children with what do we do when adversity hits because it will happen to everyone. You have to create a new reality for yourself, i am not the same person i was before my accident but i am going to make the Best of what i have.

I may have to look at a new career or total disability but i strongly believe i have learnt alot and met some Pretty outstanding people through the process. It still amazed me how many people have reached out to help. I still believe i am very fortunate in life, i just have to accept that i am not as strong and independant as i have always prided myself on being
