Also in my 60s (50s then) I had a severe TBI. My recovery was gradual rather than having a turning point. If I were to identify a turning point it was when I began to be able to understand WHY I was doing stuff. Example, instead of remembering how to perform an =AVERAGE command in Excel, was "what will this tell me that is important?" Best to you

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition. Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life. |
