What’s it like to travel while trying to recover?
Terry provides us some insight and suggestions.
In today’s episode Terry and I will touch base on how Terry fared with her recent trip to Utah with our daughter Brooke.
It was a trip that involved taking a plane, going to a convention involving 12-16 hour days, with 40,000 plus people, visiting a farm for hours in the middle of the day, in the desert, and nights filled with speakers and concerts.
Let’s see how Terry did. What did she do to try to keep the symptoms down? Did she set aside time to recover in quiet places? Was the airport and venue staffs helpful? Did her anxiety flare up? What could she have done better?
The goal of this conversation is two-fold. To remind you to “Keep battling” and you will be able to do things you couldn’t do before. Secondly, we hope through Terry’s experience you get a few ideas and insights on traveling while healing from a brain injury. Let’s find out how it all went.
It is important to note that Terry is almost 3 years out at the time of this recording and remains very active in trying to heal. If she went on this trip 6 months or a year ago she would have probably fared quite differently.
