I've had several days in a row where I've felt almost NORMAL. I can't tell you how wonderful it feels to be almost ME!

Maybe it's the combo of meds, or maybe it's healing. I don't know. I'm not going to go off my meds just yet though. Maybe I'll start messing with that after the holiday season.

My typing is almost back to normal, I'm not wobbly when walking or standing in line, I'm not jerking around as much.

I'm still having problems pulling stuff from my brain, and still having "duh" moments and moments of blurting out bizarre things, but the physical stuff is MUCH better.

I'm cautiously optimistic right now. I've been in this place before and have reverted. I'm going to reserve celebration until I've felt this way for several weeks.

But this certainly deserves a good old YAHOO!

To Lori Sounds like your making some progress and that's cool. There are a few others here that are posting and making progress. All I can say to this is right on.

I'm also making progress. Starting to feel like my old self, but different. I don't understand it but I know in my sprite that my mental clarity is starting to return. Still running at 25-30% but the healing process is starting

I still have a great deal of work to do but I feel like I've turned the corner.

Take Care Jeffn:)

Yay for you too, Jeff!
 

Let's hope that those of us that feel we are healing continue doing so through out the new year. And those that aren't yet at that point? I hope that you find some of this happiness in 2008. :grouphug:

I'm a little bit 'giddy' right now with how good I feel.

To Lori: Thank you for the reply and sharing the positives and the hard knocks no one said it would all be peaches and cream, but it sure it nice when it is.

I have a lot of work to do and some work that is still unfinshed but I'm feeling in my gut that this issue with TBI/PCS is beat.

I have a brain to re build and a new life to start.

Take Care Jeffn:wink:

Blessing to you Lori

Lori
 

Yeah for you!! Well if you can do it I sure can do it and I am going to give this my best shot - one over achiever to another!!!! Still going to be Boxing Day start for me - when all this silly season stuff is over. Am having visitors for a few days, and don't think it would be a good time to start and judge effects of the drug while they are around.

Lori celebrate with both feet firmly planted on the ground, no dancing on tables ok? No bumping your head! And if you are by any chance having a rum and coke - have one for me.

Jeffn

thank you so much for everything - and I don't think you will return to your old self - I am sure that we will all be far "improved" versions of our old selves upon recovery - that is what I have been trying to say to PCS McGee.

Hi Lucy
 

Top of the Morning Lynlee. Yes I try to stay on my good behavior when posting I'm Irish and I have a bad temper any way, but I've been working on it sense the third grade and probably will the rest of my life.

I do have bad days like everyone else, that's life but I try to stay focused in the solution and when I get upset I vent get it out of my system and move on and that is what I'm doing with this TBI/PCS.

I've spent the last 25 years learning how to listen, so when the massager comes by and says you need to start a new life I listen. I know in my sprite and my intuition that this is the right direction for me to go. It is beyond words, thoughts or emotions I JUST KNOW.

I'm very encouraged by the post here, as there are many who are over coming the symptoms of this dis order and you will also.

Take Care Jeffn

ps When this happens no table dancing, alcohol or bumping your head Please.

Ewww! No rum and coke for me. I can't stand anything that has a taste of alcohol. I only like wine- and even with that, I'm very particular. My husband tells me that I'm a wine snob. If I don't absolutely LOVE it, I won't drink it. Mostly because I know I shouldn't be drinking it- so I'm not going to waste the yucky feeling later on wine I don't love. :)

I can't wait to hear how the provigil goes for you. :hug:

Lori, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this not so dandy time. when i was struck in the head with a basketball hoop rim two years ago i went through quite the adjustment. my wife refused to help set it up for my 14 year old daughter Kiley. i barely remember the accident but it has affected me so. i cannot sit in my office chair without jerking about and i often have trouble makling toast for my family. whaT HAPPENED was that i was adlusting the rim of the basketball hoop and i lost my footing on the ladder and it was shaking and my daughter was too short to help so i toppled onto the driveway with the rim coming down and striking my head. i cannot recall that last phone call i recieved but i believe it was my sister Georgia (named after the state) please be well.
