 It's so simple. I cannot borrow trouble from tomorrow. I can only do what is in front of me in the present moment. And if my RTW doesn't go as planned, so be it. If it takes longer, so be it. If its premature, we'll find out soon enough. Contentedness in the present moment is the best gift PCS has ever given me. Because prior to being injured I had no physiological need for disciplined thought like I do now, to keep anxiety (and subsequent worsening symptoms) at bay. So I should say, my first RTW plan is before me, wish me luck veterans!  I still haven't started the vigorous therapy plan which goes for six weeks prior to the gradual return to work. Waiting on doctor's approval or red tape with WCB, not sure, and don't really care. Time is my friend.

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime. NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time. About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me! |
