Dear Susan,
This whole question of rating TBI sort of doesn't make sense to me....I have
heard of people who were in comas for long periods who recovered essentially
most of there former functioning and then there are people like me who just
got a "little bumb on the head" and after two years are still having lots of
problems from it...although i have never peraonally met these supposed
totally recovered people...my theory is that they have a blessed memory loss
of who they used to be so they can more easily accept their "new
self"...where as people with "mild" tbi still have a full awareness of just
what they have lost so the emotional adjustment is somewhat harder to deal
with.

As for your husband...it sounds to me like there will definately be some
peramant changes in him...and remember change is not always bad as it seems
in his case...but from what i understand most people with TBI are never
EXACTLY like their "oldselves" there will be many areas where things are just
different...as far as your ? about "getting back to normal?'  I'd like to
hear the definition of "normal" as i don't think i've ever met anyone in that
catagory tbi or non-tbi included ;-)....

my best to both you and your husband as you follow the yellow brick road
through tbi OZ!!! Laura K.
