Just recvd word that my brain isn't functioning properly. Is there a specific site that can help me with understanding the results of my testing that you might recommand? I have been clicking on pretty much everything. I should rcv my copy of the report today. I'm still in shock of the new and didn't internalize the 17 sylb words that were used.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Becky and welcome. Could you let us know the type of report and testing that was done, and what syptoms you are experiencing? Lots of folks on this forum could probably relate and suggest other sources for information if you could expand a bit. Meantime check out the various forums and see which best match your symptoms.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (pelvis, ribs, skull). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.

Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I still deal with periodic depressed moods but for the most part glad to be alive and looking forward to the rest of my life.
