Wow Patty we are like twins! I am sending big hugs!

It is a struggle as I go into month 8. I am currently functioning at approximately 60% of my pre-injury cognitive baseline. I feel that if my headache was gone I would be able to function better but with the constant headache comes fatigue and just an overall attention deficit with none of the energy I used to have.

I am praying to wake up to my “normal “ self. Now I am being pushed to go backed to work which makes me very nervous as it is fast paced and stressful. I would love to go back. But it is not the type of job you can just take a break. My customers are global and very needy. Plus I need my math skills. I have 2 months to get ready. 😊 but my brain is just not in my control.

The hard part is that we look fine on the outside. So no one sees or understands the trauma our brains are suffering from.

Right now I try to take it one day at a time. Stay positive. Keep hope in my heart. Now waiting for Spring and hoping my brain wants to garden because I used to love to garden 🪴
