1. GOS and GOS-E
Case 9

2. Pre-injury Status
Before her injury this patient was a
retired 67 year old school teacher. She
lived alone with 3 cats and volunteered
four days a week in a local library.
She had a number of children and
grandchildren who came by regularly.
She was also an avid bridge player and
played every Tuesday and Sunday.
Although she had an old car, she
preferred to walk or take the bus.
She suffered from Diabetes Mellitus and
Hypertension, but these conditions
were well controlled with medication.

3. Present Condition
After her injury this patient is living
alone at her home. She takes care of
her two cats (one died since the
injury) and has resumed her
volunteer work at the library for 2
days a week.
She says that her children and
grandchildren visit her a lot, it looks
like more than before the accident,
and must admit it tires her more
easily than before. She has stopped
playing bridge as she feels her head
is not in it at this time.

4. Present Condition
Apart from an occasional
headache there are some spells
of dizziness that occur once a
week or less.
She has not driven her car since
the accident, but can take care
of herself and goes out alone to
shop either on foot or with the
bus.
