Hi Jace,

Your post prompted me to go back and look at my initial Neuropsychological tests. I am very similar to you in my verbal abilities and my slow processing speed. Although I sound like I can put an intelligible sentence together, I have continuing problems with processing speed with any tasks or multiple conversations.

I have improved with Neuro Rehab, and I know for certain I am not as compromised as I was when I began this, but I still see the processing speed limitations. I think it may be more difficult to accept your current brain function because you are good in some areas, but still compromised in others, and you wouldn't necessarily be able to define or describe how you are different, except maybe this test (like my rehab) shows how this affects you.

I am just over 1.5 years out from my original injury, and I am still amazed at what is still lacking. However, I wanted to wish you well, and that you get a good explanation from the Neuropsychologist about these current findings. I hope that even at 2.5 years out, you are still experiencing some recovery. I think it's harder for you because you have such a high baseline of cognitive function before your injury.

I send good thoughts and prayers your way. Thank you for previous posts that still show your amazing insight and empathy to all of us here on this site. M-i-m
