I agree with you Sally. I'm now almost at year 4 and this past year I have found that on a lot of days I have more energy. I think part of it is that I started driving again last Spring. I don't go out a lot and do pick the time of day - when I'm not tired - when there is the least amount of traffic (which is getting harder all the time since Calgary has now gone to over one million people) - and when I know that whatever I'm going to do I'll still have the energy to drive myself home again. I do realize that not all of us will be able to drive again but any little thing I can now do that I couldn't do 4 years ago is a big step for me.
I was also told while in hospital that wherever I was at the TWO year mark is most likely where I would stay. Small improvements since then are wonderful.

I was hit with TM in May of 2005. At the end of one year, I had an appointment with a physiatrist. Today - after the end of my second year, I saw the same physiatrist and she said I'd made tremendous improvements since she saw me a year ago (and I have - not that I don't still have a ways to go! :) So obviously, I didn't stay where I was at the end of one year - Thank Goodness! I think the literature generally says that it takes two years to reach your maximum healing - whatever that might be. But even then, I've seen emails from many people saying they made improvements after that, too. So don't think you can't improve after one year. That is not necessarily where you're going to stay!
