Venting - no riding after crash :(

When the injuries are visible, its much easier for others to understand your plight; but, when you can't see obvious injury such as what you are mentioning, you DO have to explain that you're not feeling right. AND YOU HAVE TO TELL YOURSELF not to over do it.

If you still have occasional headaches, dizziness, you are still recovering, soo RELAX HARD and sleep HARD! Take the proper care and heal right. Head trauma is very serious and you really need to take it easy. Tell your DH to be more patient! I've had far more than my share so I'm telling you from my personal experience.

Not to scare you, but you do need to know that head injury is cumulative. From the outside, it looks like its healed. We act like we've healed... And yes our brain does heal but its not back like before the wreck. Someone like me who have suffered multiple concussions are more prone to depression (I do get depressed for no apparent reason), more prone to headaches (yes beside what used to be my monthly migraines, I got them at other times too) and most telling is that my short term memory is not what it used to be.

So please take it easy. Tell your DH that you need to take it easy. Your brain is very susceptible to concussion right now so protect your head very well and not do anything that could cause you to knock your head.

And lastly, I do understand what you are going through, dogs are great. Curl up with them and try to unwind in your down time.

Wish you a speedy recovery.

lo123,

Earlier this year I went through two months of perpetual dizziness. Brain scans, specialists, etc. and no one could figure it out. Eventually it just went away...but it was sure debilitating and depressing. Hope you feel better soon.

In the meantime...how about some podcasts from Georgina Terry. There are lots to choose from:
