Hi, You are doing great, i remember at 3 months it was pretty bad, in time most of the physical things you are experiencing should get less intense, i mostly have a week left leg and physically an just as strong as i once was, just don't have the stamina. It is pretty cool to actually see the bleed on the CT scan, i bet they are really similar in the area. With the cognitive, it really takes a while to get the brain working good again, I have found the more you use it the better it gets, You will probably get some bad headaches during that time, what i did is when i got one, i just quit for the day and started over again the next day, after about 10 days the started to get better and the thinking better and better with time, I made a Maling List of 2 lakes nearby, it took me 4 weeks to get them done, what i did is look at there address and tried to memorize it, then type it in the computer, That REALLY helped the thinking process, i don't know why but it really worked, On the work, i have been a landscaper for like 17 years, i have worked for Direct Tv for 2 years but i had to quit, doc did not think it was a good idea to be on tall ladders, falling etc, while i was doing the tv thing i did landscaping part time, so i am going back to that full time, it is demanding work, but at least i can take breaks etc if need to, with the tv thing i had to go 200% all the time. i got lucky with directv i took out short term disability, it lasted till nov, just using by saving till spring, i have it pretty easy to recope, did alot of things around the house, clean the garage, house and organize things, You are doing really good, it gets really frustrating when the brain dose not work as you want it, it is easy to get down on it, but just keep plucking away, Time is Key, thanks so much, it has been really nice chatting with you, Please feel free to ask anything, chris
