Thank-You Colleen,
I am having a hard time with my fiancee's family putting demands on me to go to too many family gatherings. I cannot handle a lot of people and noise and they don't understand because I look normal and they have seen improvements I have made, so I think they think I am all better, even though, they know I am still in rehab. I had to attend three last minute gatherings in the last 10 days which to me is ridiculous. I spent the last two days in bed with a migraine, so I need to learn to say "No" just not sure how. Another challenge I face is scheduling breaks I need and not over doing it. I was always on the go before my accident and it does not come easy to me resting, but if I don't I have consequences. Small steps on the road to recovery... I have adapted to new ways to do things which is a work in progress. I got a lot of my balance back after being in physical therapy, so I actually am running again on my treadmill which is exciting. Running is my life line to fighting the anxiety and depression that comes with a brain injury.
