hi all, creeping up to 1 year since my TBI. I stayed in hosp for 4 days before being discharged but despite this my TBI was classed as ‘severe’. I am lucky in the sense of I seem to have recovered really well. I don’t have any symptoms anymore apart from the odd BPPV spell which I fix with the epley. When discharged I was told, I would have no lasting effects, 6 months of no drinking and driving, otherwise crack on, no follow up required.
I’m feeling really scared and lost having had no follow up - I am scared to go back to normal life, even though I feel like I’m fully recovered. It’s the fear of the unknown.
I have booked to go to a theme park tomorrow for my birthday , but having done some research it seems as though this isn’t advised after having an injury. Is this forever? The drs never advised me about anything I just feel really lost and finding it hard to have closure.
I really don’t know what to do so please any suggestions or support would be really appreciated x
