Update: After 2 CTs, an MRI of my brain, and an MRA of my head and neck, and an ultrasound of my carotid arteries... conclusion is that its all just symptoms of a concussion from the double impact of the accident. The slurring has gradually improved, as have my attentiveness, word recall, and memory. Headaches actually got worse after my last post, and it was really effecting my ability to work, but after weeks of monkeying with different drugs with my neurologist, we finally arrived at a combination low-dose tricyclic anti-depressant (no longer used for sad folks, now used at lower doses for pain management) for the daily pain, and a triptan for the bad ones. So the headaches are under control which is a great relief. When I have a bad one, between the 'aura' and the triptan I feel like I'm on, or coming off acid but its so much better than the pain and I can still work. The aphasia happened as recently as last week (word queue 5 big), but seems to be strongly connected with exhaustion as I was going on no sleep and it was the first attack in a week. All in all, it was a painful and costly recovery but I'm mostly better. And I think I learned a lot about how my brain works in parallel. It was very strange, and educational to have some parts work and others not.
