Hi Agent007...How is she doing? How are YOU doing? What is the status? I would be careful with the audio books - especially if they are at an adult level. The speed may be too fast, and the information may be too much for her to process. Start simple with child books, something by disney. Being bored was one of my biggest complaints. I am now just about two years post injury. If you want to talk/need advice -
please feel free to email me.-- ************ --
I have done vast amounts of research on TBI's and PCS since my injury, and continue to do so. I am involved in support groups and give speeches to local schools about it. I understand that she is your main concern, however, it is important that you are okay throughout all of this as well. Although she suffered the injury, you also are a victim to the injury. I know this probably seems strange to hear/hard to grasp, but the family/friends/significant other's are directly impacted as well.

Best,
Meaghan

Meaghan thanks for asking. Her headaches are still painful, but not as bad as they were. She still has memory loss, less sensitive to light, and she still speak slowly and quietly. She has trouble thinking thing some things through. She just recently started an online business and had an order from a customer that was placed 2 months in advance for a wedding, so she spend almost 15 hours being up one day to finish the order with about 30 minute breaks in between every few hours. She also spend about 4 to 5 hours on two other days also finishing up orders. So there was a definite setback from this. She did not want to stress out the person getting married, by cancelling the orders.

I am doing better than the first week. I rarely show emotion, but I think I cried every single day in the beginning. Her personality is still the same, but her thought process is delayed and she is always tired. Its also sad to see her unable to remember things. She used to be the one with the better memory in the relationship.

I am taking Mark's advice and just taking it a week at a time.
