Update Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

[Guest guest]

Hi all!  I just wanted to let you know how things are going.  I got my " intake "

over the phone.  I was reassured over and over that this sounds " about right "

for MTBI.

Yesterday, I went to Idaho Elk's Rehab to have my first assessment by 4

different therapists.  One was speech and swallowing.  Need a Barium Swallow. 

The next was occupational therapy.  More exercises.  The third one was the

physical therapist.  I told him I used to be a bodybuilder and the tiny

exercises don't feel like much.  So, he thought it might be helpful to be a

little more aggressive.  The last one was a recreational therapist.  He helps to

tie everything and feel more " human. "   I'll be getting pool therapy and lessons

on how to swim without drowning with the fusion.  Plus many more activities that

you can do in the water.

One of the sad things I learned is that I will never be like the " me " I once was

and it is going to take going thru the " grieving process and that maybe the new

me will be even better.

The countdown for my court date to change my name is getting nearer...Augst 21st

Hope God finds you all in good health this morning.

Hugs,

Cassie
