Default Just curious

I have to decide this week whether or not I am going to go on Long term disability, or go back to work full time by the start of June. Its now been 10 months since my concussion (at least my fourth one)

I have my neuro-psych test June 7, and various other appointments after that. Since there is a law suit for the car accident, I had to wait for a year after the accident to start these tests.

I go into work to visit and do some odd jobs which is good, but it seems that after a short time I feel almost as if I am drunk, woozy and a little surreal.

My job is fast paced (manage an animal shelter and have to wear many other hats in the job) and it is one of those jobs that you can't do part time.

Since I am only able to do limited exercise, and apparently a small amount of work, I don't know how to sort out when I am better. The more simple my life is, the more I feel like "myself". I guess I am wondering about how much I should push through. I am the type of person who will keep going until it gets bad (which I did, I worked for four months and almost had a breakdown and had to go off work).

Does it help the brain to keep working it and challenging yourself, or should I just wait and just test myself every once in a while. I am sure that I will learn about things after the neuro-psych test.

Thanks
