that is great news Kaz......I had terrible head injuries, skull popped completely open, between the roof of the car and the road in my smash!!, and although I knew what people were saying to me , my responses were very limited for the first six months . However , it got better and better as time went by . I don't think it went back to completely normal ? but good enough . I did an IQ test at six months after the crash and I think I got somewhere about 75 ... that is very very low. I had done them before the crash, and had got 130/136/142 on three seperate tests, all to do with work! The last one I did ,about 1990 ish (memory has gone now !!) was 128 . All these tests go to prove that the brain does repair and work again (even mine !!!!!) so fingers crossed , all will be well !!! Time really is a healer in these cases ( I know exactly what I am talking about on this subject !!) , just don't rush things , take it easy . Any fractures in the neck also heal well . I shattered c1 ? (the vertebrae that connects the skull to the spine ) luckily the spinal chord was ok ( but very swollen ) and d2 ( vertebrae between the shoulder blades ),the spine between the two breaks twisted a bit too , so causes lots of pain and discomfort , BUT , I can function normally ( well more or less) . Some things I shouldn't do ( but still do ) and I had to relearn how to move about , but it can get back to a new normal where everything is fine . So good luck and take each step as it comes , and always look forward to what CAN be done . Sorry for the long post , but I really do know about this sort of thing ... been there done that .. got the t-shirt and the broken bones ....lol
cheers
