Going Back to Work and Neuropsych Report.
 

Yep, you read that right. I got called in for an interview today, for a security job...and it ended up being a sort of "orientation" type thing. I nailed it so well, they called me back for a second interview and I nailed that one too...I GOT THE JOB!!!

I've been doing some spontaneous healing the past week. Its been weird...Its like something clicked overnight and I was functioning well again. Then, I got my neuropsych report back and my IQ was above average. There was things that I did score low with, such as immediate and short term memory and some auditory stuff...but there was lots of things that I scored above average. Most of the high scores were with visual stuff, like visual memory and problem solving...and some motor skill things. Anyways, after I got the report back, my confidence went through the ceiling.

However, due to some of the low scores that I had...I've been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment - secondary to brain injury and two other things. I don't have the actual report in my hands yet. My case manager went over it with me and I'll have a copy to share with you guys next week.

Just thought I'd note, SS did NOT receive a copy of the report and nor will they ever.

So yeah, I'm a little nervous about working 40 hours a week. But, its very low stimulation in a quiet apartment complex and its at night. I won't have to deal with the heat.

Happy healing, Everyone!!!

Sounds like the work environment is well suited to where you are in your recovery. The fact that you interviewed well speaks volumes about your regaining your cognative functioning. Good to hear.
