In 2005 I slipped and fell. I'm still dealing with the issues of a concussion. I'm trying to work at the same job I've had for 7 years, doing the same type work I've done since 1974.

I forget, can't remember to follow procedures, process information, people tell me they don't understand me, can't follow my conversations, I have balance issues, memory loss, used to love people crowds, activities concerts can't handle any of that anymore...my world has become very small. I live in a fog. I describe as I know there is a building there, I just know it, but I can't quite see it....

I'm now 55 years old, I look normal, as my doctor says You look good..what does that mean? I don't feel 'good' I feel very frustrated, I'm just now after 2 1/2 years, beginning to understand that I have some problems and I don't think they are going away.

I work for a CPA firm, who in 2005/2006 tax season (long work hours) were very understanding, 2006/2007 tax season didn't say much about my performance, 2007/2008 I'm constantly be called out about mistakes I make, looks from coworkers like 'are you stupid' I can't follow the simpliest instructions, my thought process is very very slow....

Thank you for reading "my story" as I know each of us has our own 'story' of this...

I've got to go get ready for work...I'll be back on later today, If I remember it *smiles*

Thanks

Melek
