Wow. What a road thru hell I'm going. this I'd not fun. it's 8 or 9 weeks post accident and in still no where near where I used to be. I still can't work like I used to. I still can't do all things around the house like I used to. I can't do too much or I start to get "symptoms", which for me is muscle spasms from my neck to my head. I'm not allowed to do that, I can't get my blood pressure up, because that puts too much blood into my head and I get symptoms. All from the concussion and whiplash. I go to physical therapy 3 days a week. it's been a long long road and still a long road to go. :-( But, I'm here! So it could have been much worse. I'm count my blessing each day and my kids are my daily motivation. It was 5 weeks of sitting, I was not allowed to carry anything, pick up anything or even look up. 2 days before thanksgiving I found out the final result from the battery of scans. CT scan at first hospital, then MRI'S of my head and neck and a MRI of my head, those came back fine, then my neurologist sent me for a MRI of my neck. Thankfully that can't neck fine and she sent me for physical therapy. I still have a long road to go, but I'm getting there. obviously with the weight gain, you can tell I've still been using food as my crutch. But now I'm trying very hard to be better. Well, for the last 2 days I have. Lol. Lol. I'm blessed to have 2 of the world's best kids, that have been by my side, helping me all along the way and a work for 2 great companies that I get 100% support from. So I'll continue to count my blessing and you all are included in my blessings! Than you all for all of your support and well wishes. I may never get back to 100% But I hope top get back to 99.9%. Love to all of you and I wish you a belated thanksgiving, a merry Christmas and a happy New year, and e what ever other traditions you celebrate. Thank you!!!!! Mel
