Therapy/Excersises to help brain recover after therapy
Mon, 05/02/2011 - 12:15I am 5 weeks post surgery. My doctor says I need to work on my memory. I live in Arkansas and he doesn't feel like there is effective therapy here. My wife is an RN and I guess he thinks we will just research and figure it out.
Any suggestions-it just feels like my brain is all over the place- having a hard time focusing on projects and remembering basic day to day stuff.
It's like wanting to train for a marathon and you can't find your tennis shoes!

Thanks for the email! I have learned a bit of French, but not enough to cary on a full conversion. Perhaps I will check this out. I am currently doing crossword puzzles and a book that hase similar pictures, but they are not 100% the same. I have to find the differences in a short period of time. Both of these have been helpfull, but I am open to any other ideas. Please keep me posted if you think of anything else. Have a great weekend! Peyton

It helps me to keep my mind active. Any way you can do that, and have it be enjoyable should help. Ever try learning a language?
