Default How do you go on with TBI / pcs

10/10/2011 was a day that changed my life. I tripped over a broom someone placed across a door to hold it open. I landed on my head. The accident resulted in a triple fusion in my neck and a fusion of my lower back that was fractured at l5-s1. The pain from these surgeries continue but my mind, God, my mind is the most difficult to handle. I am soooooo sad. So tired of not being "me". So tired of crying. So tired of feeling dependent.
I was a very successful insurance lady. Now I forget what I'm doing, loose things, kinda live in a daze. Tell me it will get better or what to do. You feel so alone.
What should I expect from the medical community. I feel like I have just been left to flounder. I went to a neurologist and he had me go through tests and announced I didn't have brain damage. If that's true then why am I like this? He said its just a concussion. Just a concussion? What does that mean?
I just found this site. Maybe I can learn what to do. Grasping!
