Well I've seen the Neurological teams Occupational Therapist, the teams Physiotherapist, the big man himself, the Surgeon and over the past few weeks, I've been seeing the teams Psychotherapist.
She really has put me through it with all kinds of test to evaluate if I am brain damaged or just not very intelligent.
Some of the questions I had to answer(let's call them tests) I found very difficult which led me to ask her a Question, how do you differentiate between someone who is brain damaged and a person who is just not that bright. She told me that they would be able to tell that from the answers I give. It beats me how they can tell from that but she assured me they could.
We spent three enjoyable hours together and I could tell I was doing OK from the look on her face, mostly smiles when I got a difficult one correct.
I asked her how I had done on our first meeting and she said I had done quite well and after the three hour session, I asked her again.
She seemed to think I'd done OK but said the results would have to be analysed by her superior. When I asked her why, she replied, You don't think that I could answer questions that hard, Do you ? hahahahaha. Seems she just asks the questions, then they take the answers I give back to the hospital to be analysed.
It seems things are coming together at last, I'm walking quicker, not wobbling as much and the memory is getting just that little bit better.
I'm eating Ok and have put a few pounds back on but I'm still 14 pounds under what I was. I'm also sleeping better and I go to sleep a lot quicker than I did, thanks to a couple of cups of hot Horlicks before I go to bed.
Next time she comes (2 weeks time) we are going to talk about getting my driving licence back. The authorities have only just taken it off me (not that I've been driving, my Son has my car) and I have a letter from them that says I can't drive for six months. In a few weeks time, it will be six months since the accident so it's fingers crossed that the hospital will put me through their own driving test(on private ground) real soon, wish me luck my friends.
