My neuropsychological test results came in today's mail. I have no clue about most of what is in the eight page result.

"It is possible that substantial improvement in functioning will be noted over the next six months. The possibility of residual deficit is very real. The patient's prognosis is, at this point, unclear." = Who has a clue?

Recommendations:

• Be fully informed of the results of this evaluation.
• All current treatment should continue.
• Psychotherapy is recommended.
• Retest in 12 months is recommended.
• Speech/Language therapy emphasizing teaching of memory strategies.
• An exacting structure to include a predictable schedule is recommended. Working for short periods of time, punctuated by frequent breaks, is also recommended. Regular exercise and a well- balanced diet are also recommended.
• Recommended compensatory techniques for memory impairment include the use of electronic devices, and a daily planner, as well as use of a dry erase board to post daily tasks/schedules.

The only things I am not already doing is psychotherapy (I think they are suggesting this to deal with anger and acceptance of the changes) and speech/language therapy.
