But that being said, there’s still things I know that are slightly harder than before. I’ve learned that I’ve been blessed and most people don’t improve as fast or as far. My family always looks for what’s different and I know what things still give me additional stress or fatigue. Things are mostly the same as they were from most people’s perspective. I spent a total of 10 weeks in inpatient or outpatient rehab and went back to work after 10 weeks. I don’t remember the first 2 weeks due to medication. I had a similar event from a fall off a scooter. I hope someone can tell me or guide me in a direction to reverse what is going on. I just had a complete blood profile done and nothing irregular was found. Goal originated and now I could care less. Life has become extremely difficult and stressful. I fear my co workers or boss will discover the problems I'm having and I'll lose my job. In this busy life, distraction is normal. I write notes and reminders and sets alarms in my phone if I remember to or don't get distracted. I will tell someone I will check on something and call them back and if I get interrupted before I speak to them again, I forget. I can't retain computer programs or where to go to find what. Now at the age of 50, 25 years later I am having bigger issues with my memory that frightens me and I would love to learn about treatment. I must ask and enter in computer and write it down and still no memory of it the next day. Since the accident I can not remember names. Little specks of memory piece by piece and the majority was back. When I awoke 17 days after I didn't believe I was in an accident eventhough I was still in hospital. Brain bleed and sever swelling along with collapsed lung. I still do not any events of that day or months that led up to the accident. I am looking for another job now because my current work environment is not a pleasant environment even for a person without my issues. For me, I repeat things a lot, can process a little slower, and have some peripheral vision loss. My only issue I have been struggling with in recent years is that you feel you need to announce to everyone you work with that you had a brain injury/surgery, so you are not in the rumor mill for being slower than other employees and have other mild issues that normal people may think is odd. I just found this site today and am glad to learn more. The internet wasn't around to help me realize that others were going through the same things. I have managed to do good in school and my career by self-creating my own techniques to help remember things and improve my ability to perform tasks. I have struggled on my own over the years, not knowing the issues I experienced were not normal. I did well on all the post surgery cognitive and related tests at the time.
30 years ago I went through the last of three surgeries in my early twenties to remove scar tissue on my right temporal lobe that caused epilepsy.
