Hi Sandra and welcome. As Lara posted there is a very active forum on TBI/PCS. I mostly hang out there but will respond here for now.

When was your injury? Many PCS patients see their symptoms improve over time, although some can be life long. The lingering symptoms often require adjustments in lifestyle, and education to those around us is important.

Tell us more about your symptoms and you will find lots of support and helpful advice.

See you there: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum92.html

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.

Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.
