Back, as in pre injuy levels? It will never come back to those levels. Between the normal aging process and the damage to the parts of my brain, i will never get back to the way I was.
My function did/has vastly improve over the years since my incident. I have learned to manage my cognitive function. My biggest issue is short term memory. I have to write everything down. I probably retain maybe 30% of what I hear during a discussion. I absolutely must take notes or I will never remember what was discussed.
I often forget what I was doing and forget where I left things. My wife is a godsend and she helps me out all the time.
With all that said, I am still well enough that I haven’t been medically discharged from the military. I am just not as I was and it bothers me more than I am sure it really effects me.
