Hello I am Ben from St Paul. October of 18 I suffered a brain, neck, middle back, lower back and knee injury when I was hit in my car from behind at a stop light. I'm currently able to work part time with restrictions. I just take it one day at a time and continue ot, pt and mental health therapy weekly to help my improvement. It is a much slower recovery than ever imagined and as a single parent very hard on my son.

Hey @hevykevy @icydecember @kimfeist @littlepitzen @lolabelle1 @luckylizardlady @mkgarrity @msa1396 please join me in welcoming @badbenny to our group.

You are certainly not alone in finding recovery to be a painstakingly slow process. It can be frustrating to say the least. How old is your son? It must be hard for him to understand what is actually going on and why you're not bouncing back, especially if you "look" fine. Have you considered having one of your therapists describe to him how the brain works and why recovery is necessary and slow?
