The Joy of Testing...

Today Craig got to meet with the Neuropsychologist. We weren't supposed to see him till August 2nd, but he had a cancellation and his nurse called to see if we would come in today. We got there at 8:45 am and didn't leave until 3:00 pm. Poor Craig, he had to take test after test after test. After the brief 30 min part I had I got to entertain myself at the mall... poor Shannon :)

Craig's testing was done at 1 pm and at that time he got an hour lunch break. We ate lunch at the hospital cafeteria. Craig was amazed at how well I knew my way around such a big hospital. I reminded him that while he was on his luxurious vacation in Rehab I had the joy of wandering the halls.

The test results were ok. He is not 100% yet. The Neuropsychologist said he tested like a normal 36 year old male. There was just a few areas that need improvement. He has to go back in 6 weeks for retesting. The Neuropsychologist said Craig's brain just need more healing time and he expects him to be close to 100%.

It has only been two months which in brain healing time is not much!

Craig had a hard time with this news. Hopefully the fact that he gets to go back to work tomorrow, only on the ground, will help to cheer him up. Sitting around doing nothing but healing gets old fast!

Craig also gets to see the Hand Surgeon tomorrow. He is hoping to get the brace off so he can start doing more.
