Good evening, all:
I had to ask for a school withdrawal, since after a week-and-a-half of trying to go to classes, I learned that it just wasn't going to work. In a way, I am extremely relieved, because that means I can focus on recovery and not stress about school. The other nice thing is that my days can be flexible. Yesterday, I spent two hours working on dosing and organizing meds. The brain was officially fried, so I was able to grab some down time last night and today. That wouldn't have been possible if I was still in school right now. The other thing is that, for awhile, I was so darn grumpy for no apparent reason. Mood swings can happen with brain injury. So I was able to focus on a relaxing activity so the cranky Bethany wouldn't harm someone with words. I am quite thankful for the ability to be flexible with my days, since I never know what's going to happen!
I'm sorry about you having to withdraw from school for a time but I am glad that it's helping! I'm sure with time, you will be able to go back. it's amazing how much our brains can rewire themselves!! I was born with a brain malformation, I'm missing part of the midline of my brain so I have a lot of the same issues as someone with a TBI.

I plan to return to classes in the fall. By that time, I should be doing better, and I will have figured out alternative ways to do things. You are a most interesting person to talk to (in a good way), and I enjoy our conversations. You're also quite compassionate, and I appreciate that. Thank you for taking the time to read!
