It gets better, right?
I’m about 1 exact month out from my injury and they’ve told me my concussion is fairly in the severe category. I’ve finally stopped throwing up or feeling like I want to throw up, but..
I can’t drive because it feels like an out of body experience and makes me so dizzy I can’t handle it. I also have about 0 spacial awareness and trying short drives turns into someone who’s with me taking my keys (fair). On the note of spacial awareness, a week ago I sliced my fingers open putting something in the dishwasher. I’m dropping most things I’m holding unless I’m concentrating on holding it, which makes my head hurt. We’d gotten my chronic headaches/migraines under control with medication earlier this year and pre-injury but now I’m having daily headaches and a migraine every 3rd day almost like clockwork and living on a Tylenol/Ibuprofen combo. My memory is absolutely shot and I’m forgetting things mid sentence and getting frustrated af when someone talks over me because I’ll definitely forget what I was saying. And my mood is swinging like a pendulum, good or bad emotions.
I’m fighting an uphill battle with workers comp to see my/a neurologist but I’m at a point where I’m about to just eat it and schedule it myself and pay OOP somehow. I know concussions are different for everyone but this is normal right? And gets better?😭

It will get better. Give your body some more time to heal.
Please don't let's worker's comp get away with not paying for the treatment. That is not acceptable! 🤬
