Well, I received my assessment today (met last Monday about it). I have a name for my stroke/head injury now.

 

Dementia Due to Head Trauma DSM IV code 294.1 (traumatic brain injury with cerebral vascular involvement)

 

We now know the areas of problems that I have and now I can work on it harder now. It's not really news about me but just a name. I can now close one chapter about my accident and that is "what happened to me".

 

My speech therapy say's that the dead area of my brain will go to another area of my brain to learn. I told the my speech therapy that i'm so smart that there is no free area of my brain anymore. :big_grin: She laff. :hahaha:

 

The doc's said now I can forget about working and for me to work on being as normal as I can (living). I told them i've never been normal. :BashHead: :roflmao:

 

I'm 36 now and I still have alot to get out in my life. :party:

You DO have a lot to get out of life Bill. And HECK...normal is only a setting on a washing machine...it is really relative. Normal is what YOU make it to be!!!

Possibly, they'll be able to help you more now

maybe because I don't have deficits you do, so I think if its math& that kind of stuff then you can defintely relearn, since we did learn when we were young.At 36 you still have whole life ahead of you.

WHO really should define what normal is - only time seen by me is on a washing machine

Keep your chin up and keep your great sense of humour - I really like the posting on bringing your dog to the beauty parlour - you had me in stitches

The neuropsych test really helped. It was so hard for me to explain my problems but now it is out there that my friends and family can read the assessment and they can understand it. They thought my problem was my speech and my speech has come back really good. I really good talking just for talk "bla bla". It has been 16 months and they understand now and I can read it and I don't feel like i'm going nuts. I can now just go out and try to live my life to be better.

 

 

Thanks all

 

Bill
