[QUOTE="Suz, post: 328552, member: 29"] Janet/Lisa, check into your states' Department of Health. I was delighted to find out how many services there are for people with brain injuries. It is obviously more common than one would think since there are so many resources. I received a flyer about some of the services today and it said that there are 250,000 people in PA alone with brain injuries. Amazing. We had our appointment with the neuro-opthalmologist this morning. Long story short, thank goodness he seems to know what he's talking about. Rob needs to go back Jan 7 to get an MRI to confirm. Apparently each eye has 12 nerves that do various things. Rob has "left 4th nerve palsy" that is interfering with his vision. The doctor won't consider surgery until Rob is 6 months post-accident but at least in a couple of weeks we can start to make a plan. On Jan 21 Rob sees a regular neurologist. I plan to go to that appointment to talk about other therapies....like PT for his left arm if it hasn't gotten stronger by then...and to see what can be done, if anything, to help his short-term memory and cognitive deficits. What a long haul. Thank you so much for going on this journey with us. Suz [/QUOTE]
