New York TV Weatherman back after a brain injury

The New York TV Weatherman Lonnie Quinn has returned after dealing with a brain injury. Lonnie Quinn from WCBS-TV, which serves as the main weather anchor for CBS, is back to work after a break to recover from a concussion. In addition to the weather for the New York City CBS station, he appeared on CBS this morning on Saturday and was listed there on WCBS-AM 880, which weathered there.

“I missed you more than you know,” said Quinn when he came back. “It is these moments like this that only warms your heart and you think 'I work with good people.'”

Quinn had explained his health problems to his audience before taking a break of his work in March.

“It was a very serious head injury. When the MRI came back, the doctors came in and said” Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. This is actually a traumatic brain injury, not just a concussion. You have to be unemployed for six to eight weeks, “said Quinn,” said Quinn.

During the broadcast of WCBS TVs evening news on March 14, Anchor Kristine Johnson announced that Quinn, 61, had suffered “a concussion”, and initially thought that he would “ok”, which he then revealed was not the case.

As Quinn explained, he recently “took a gelding up on his head”, which led to a visit to the hospital and the symptoms that he discovered later.

“The big concern in the medical community, they want to see whether there is a brain blood because they can be dead in the morning if they don't treat it,” said Quinn and confirmed that he had a “negative” cat scan. “So I was free to go home. And I made my life, how we all do it when we hit our heads, right?”

But during a news program from 11 a.m. before his medical vacation, Quinn said that he had lost all vision from his left eye. “I couldn't go on under any circumstances. And then it went away just as quickly. It was maybe 15 minutes,” said Quinn.

“When you hit your head, your brain recovers well, but it only recovers while the body is sleeping,” he said.

In order to recover from the brain injury, Quinn took a monthly medical vacation from work. He explained that he had used the time to rest, to carry out physical rehab and to undergo cognitive therapy.
