Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI)

[Guest guest]

Hi Everybody!

I am so hoping that I've rejoined the group correctly. I think I've

been messing it up since I am legally changing my name. It's a lot

of work! I used to be Harja. But, I'm now Cassidy Rose.

Some of you already know me. You can all call me Cassie.

Anyway, I had CCF surgery with Foramen Widening 12/07. I'm now in

physical therapy. I was told by my therapist, after reviewing my x-

rays and history and having an exam that I have " Mild Traumatic Brain

Injury " and should have my physician refer me to the proper rehab

facility that deals with brain injuries. My physician agreed and is

doing the referral. Needless to say I was shocked. So, I bought a

book titled, " Coping with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury. " I was amazed

at how it read like my life story.

Has anyone else been told this?? It explains the continued head and

neck pain; tinnitus; ear pain; speech problems; decision making

problems; etc.

Thanks everybody!

Cassie
