I feel like I am close to recovery, been taking meds, getting rest, doing yoga Saturday mornings. Neuralgia pain is unheard of now. Been seeing a physical therapist, my psychotherapist, psychiratist. My neurologist gave me the clear to up my limits on things such as TV, computer, and any kind of screen time to 2 hours at max with brain rest. And she gave me the clear to see my relatives and newborn baby nephew in Ohio! So I am taking a leave for next week, and I can't wait!
 Hope everyone is recovering well!

That's brilliant news, Im so pleased for you.
sounds like you have a good team behind you It's great to hear recovery stories, as it keeps us all positive and focused. I am at 9 months now and things are also very good, I still have Light and sound sensitivity occasional headaches and lightheaded but Much better than at 6 months. I don't know about you but I found Yoga to be the best thing to help me. Keep on healing and congrats on your nephew, bet you can't wait to see him. Cx |

Thank you, it's always great to hear of success in recovery. Like you, I have found yoga very helpful, particularly to reduce anxiety.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition. Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life. |
