A great article explaining what you need to know about your challenges to recovery. Your doctor should have given you this information.

A couple of lines from it. Read it all.
Since most people with brain
injury live a nearly normal life span (the overall average is seven
years decreased life expectancy).
Amphetamine administration in concert with therapy may enhance and accelerate the rate and extent of recovery of motor function.
Therapies that are conducted
one or two times a week are unlikely to be of sufficient dose to
facilitate neurological re-modeling. It has been shown that in order for
neurons to learn a specific motor function, that motor function must be
repeated hundreds of times.
Treatment of people with
acquired brain injury is highly specialized and poorly understood by
practitioners in the general medical and allied health fields.
