So I did my testing on Friday... It was awful!! I do not know I have ever felt more stupid! Also really opened my eyes in that I had not realized how much I had really lost until this test.. Tests I had..
I had to remember numbers as they were read aloud.. I could not do 4 numbers... Had to repeat numbers backwards as they were read to me forward... ex.. 369, I would say 963... could not do 3 numbers... Other test that I failed miserably was; I was read 3 simple sentences like.. Joe ran home.. at the same time I had to answer simple questions like, Where did Joe run... at the same time I had to remember the last word of each sentence and write it on the following page when told... I could not do more than 2 sentences.. it was horrible! I was also read a short story and could not remember many details 10 minutes later... I have never felt so stupid! On top of all of that... I had the worst headache when I was done... some brain fog and was dizzy... went back to my parents, took a 3 hour nap and still was not good... I am so very happy that is over!
