This was very helpful. Appreciate it. Thank you very much.
I am about a year and a half out of my car accident which resulted in a TBI. Your symptoms were so very similar to my experience- thank you for sharing! I had a concussion first and was sent home, and then swelling began and there started my journey with a TBI (aphasia/ataxia/spasticity/dystonia). Your story is the closest to mine that I have heard (in family/friends, driving, Symptoms, etc…)! Thank again for sharing! Very encouraging!
Gratitude, ,appreciation, emotional and social support, and hopefulness are key ingredients in this journey of recovery from traumatic brain injury. What has helped in your journey?
