Back after Christmas to Learning to fly (again), The batteri model
Then I was back at Sunnaas for part two of my stay here.
We start with a new round about
Brain Fatigue, It affects 50 to 70% of those who have had a stroke or traumatic brain injury, It is characterised by a lack of energy and exhaustion, and it takes little physical or mental effort before you become exhausted.
We gained a deeper insight into what it is and which factors trigger brain fatigue and what you can do in your everyday life to live with it.
Hearing and learning about how the brain has lost capacity after an injury, means that I better can understand how it affects me in my everyday life, and why I quickly get tired and exhausted when I do the same things as before, and that I must learn to reduce and distribute what I have to do over a longer period of time than before. It is not easy when you are basically an impatient soul as me😳.

A short week here, but again a very educational week, the focus has been brain fatigue, now I understand better why I get tired all the time.
I imagine a semi-empty battery that is only charged 40% at night, and that getting up, eating, showering, getting dressed, cleaning a bit, shopping for food, is what uses up this 40%
So what about all the other things that have to be done, be social, work...., so yes here there must be prioritised and planned on a different level than before🤔
Feel free to add comment. I will read through them and post them on the comment field.
