Unhappy Brain Injury from anozia


Hi, 5 months ago I had a Full Cardiac Arrest a couple of days after having a back surgery. I don't have memory of this but I'm told I went to the ER for chest pain and was talking to the DR. when I suddenly had a bad seizure and went into full cardiac arrest. They did CPR for 90 minutes and my brain was without oxygen most of that time. They put me on Hypothermia but I was in a very deep coma for 5 days. I had severe brain swelling. Now I have short term memory problems, still have seizure activity in my brain, and something about my left temporal brain lobe ( I don't understand about that what it means), also, my left eye is still blurry.. I'm trying to get into cognitive therapy because i forget things that i do or hear. i'm better with visual memory. I went into a rehab center for 2 weeks after the hospital but it was mostly PT and OT to walk and take care of basic needs. I got some speech therapy but none since then. I need cognitive therapy and frustrated with worker's comp. not yet approving it and feel like i am wasting important time to get my functioning back. very frustrated and confused.
