Hi I'm 33 and had a R-side (cortex) hemorragic stroke in Nov of 98.
Though, my injury was considered severe, besides some residual motor
disfunction to my L-side, I concider myself G-damn lucky.
My question(?) is this, does anyone know where I can be directed to info on
perception specific to this type of injury?
I don't know if perception is the proper term, at times, when I think I'm
"completely" focused on a task.I'll use the example of a game of darts
(could be any cognitive related task...) sometimes I catch myself misjudging
things (scores,turns,strategy) and it can be VERY unnerving, because I think
it could be a cognitive impairment (though my WAIS scores indicated good
verbal skills, I did demonstrate some slight spatial deficits,though I never
considered this one of my strong suits to begin w/).
- I no longer see a neuropsychologist, and I'm not sure if I just need to
lighten up on myself and not make too much of these inconsequential events,
these occurances have never caused any accidents or impaired
work/relationships, I'm just trying to further educate myself, and determine
if I may need to seek further professional assistance. I have a background
as a COTA w/ an interest in spatial perception (the sick irony..) any
suggestions on web sites/books where I can educate myself and train(rehab)
my mind specific to spatial perception/judgement?
Thank You,
Adam
