I was also in a flip over car accident after hydroplaning in a severe storm incident. landed upside down in flash flood waters trapped by my seat belt. (yup I was that 1% of 1% statistic) After fighting to get vision issues resolved for more than 6 wks I was finally sent for vision therapy with an ophthalmologists who was amazing. Took 9 months of hard brain retraining and cognitive therapy to overcome challenges. Cognitive issues combined with emotional changes forced me to quit my job on the spot. Looking back I wonder why I didnt take my therapists suggestion of going on disability. Four years later I still have some triggers which bring up anxiety but its quickly handled with the tools I learned. Sorry for the long story. You're lucky I didnt tangent. but I wonder if my ADHD maybe helped me through those initial 9 months. Thanks for listening.
