Wonderful to hear from you Brain Patch! Sending you hugs!

On the topic of the thread, being able to drive very short distances in a very low traffic area was one of THEE biggest accomplishments of my recovery. (At about six months)

I now drive every day, but have never driven longer than a few minutes. Love my small city. Can get anywhere in 10 mins or less.

Long trips, I get chauffeured.

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!
