Talking to us today about how she handled the concussion of her 15-year old daughter, is post-concussion advocate Jami Uretsky. Tune in to hear how Jami handled the accident, where she found the inspiration to start blogging, and her realization that this was not going to be a typical injury. We learn about the types of treatment that Jami took her daughter for, and why she feels functional neurology is the key. We discuss how the standard school environment can be overwhelming for post-concussion sufferers and the stress for both the sufferer and the family around not knowing what is coming. Bella gives examples of how her own family was affected, while Jami gives some great tips on how to come to terms with your new normal. We find out how Jami handled her daughter’s mental health, and why it’s so important to find an outlet for the competitive spirit following injury.
