Being a prior athlete, I think I'm still in denial that something is seriously wrong with me. I keep trying to fix me, make me like I use to be.

Following directions, reading signs, trying to stay in between the white lines is

a challenge, driving is a challenge!! i seem to be able to do short distances, but long distances are not safe for me. And all the lights...white lights, big problem.

As an ex athlete (not like me) your probably struggling relating the concept of how to fix yourself like you did previously (very much like me). Fractures and soft tissue injuries had a clear plan and timescales for recover - pain killers, heat / ice, physio and within x weeks your virtualy as good as new.

With this it seems to be rest, good diet and at sometime into the future you will be somewhat better. It is not so much as denial as it is all the unknowns that I struggle with.

Me too...just even simple words. For me it's like that feeling you get when you've said a word ten times over and it looks strange and loses its meaning. I've get really confused about the order of words too. And I used to write and proofread for a living
