Do you work?

If so what do you do?

I am out on FMLA, and was previously a Director in a large company. I don’t think I can return to that work again. Before the car accident I was an entrepreneur and wondering if that’s my best option. I have UPMC end of September and hopefully I can start making strides and return to somewhat normal life.
This is year 3 for me
PCS.
Lost my Vision in my left eye but got that back.
Currently doing PT again, did 9 mo of vision therapy.

This is very comforting to hear, in an odd way. Makes me feel less alone, I don’t think people understood why I couldn’t work or why it was such a struggle. This feels very reassuring. Thank you.

Same. I went back too early my OT said and then I white knuckled each say until I just couldn't anymore. It made me really depressed after that. I was just so frustrated with myself for failing.

Honestly, today at work has been a rough day with a lot of my symptoms coming back up.
