Urgent question for Concussion veterans

[sugarplumkitty]

How did you know when you were recovered enough to go back to work? My doctors have not been helpful with this.

I've had brain damage yet they expect me know know when I'm better? My judgement has been off so long, I don't trust it anymore.

I have never had the experience myself, but know someone who had to retire from their job due to a concussion. They tried to work for about a year after it happened, but they just weren't the same after that. He was a local talk show host here in Phoenix.
The concussion has totally disrupted his life. So, I hope it is better for you!!

They say I will recover but it may take 6 months. I don't have six months!

He worked part time for awhile. Maybe you can do that. My heart goes out to you as you heal!

I understand your frustration. I know you feel like you don't have six months. But I am glad to hear that they are saying that you will recover.

If it takes more than 3 months, I won't have a job. I love my company and my job. In these times, losing a job is a very bad thing.
