After that time I totally fade and need to nap to "reset my brain". Once napped I am good to go again.<br>I informed my Primary Care and she:<br>a) Referred me back to Baptist Health Neurology. That appointment is on 18 June 2025.<br>b) Wrote a note for my Director and HR Director at God's Pantry Food Bank:<br>"To Whom It May Concern: Please allow Peter Paterson (04/30/1967) to work from home as needed as he is recovering from post-concussion syndrome and requires frequent rest. If there are any further questions please contact our office."<br>My Directors have worked with me, and allowing me to work split days and work from home days.<br><a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/concussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Concussion</span></a> <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/postconcussionsyndrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PostConcussionSyndrome</span></a><br><br>Today I shall be going into work for at least 4 hours, catch up on Friday's paperwork, come on home, nap, eat lunch, and work for the rest of my 8 hours remotely. <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/foodbank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FoodBank</span></a><br><br>Take care of yourself my friends and for ALL around you.<br>Peter //O\\</p>
