The Rehab Report
Each week I'm learning something new about my brain, which is very exciting and interesting. Rehab is going well, but still along haul! Here is what I have been learning.
1. The main area that was effected was the right hemisphere of the brain.
2. Recovery of full function is a possiblity.
3. The midbrain controls a lot of visual function. Therefore I'm doing a ton of eye excercises.
4. A midbrain bleed will either kill you or you recover well. Once agin very grateful to be alive and here for myself, Kirk, and my kids.
5. Brain fatigue is very real. I'm learning how to figure out when my brain is tired before it even gets there.
6. It takes many hands to recover a brain!
