Drug overdose in 2007. A plethora of drugs including Fentenyl, cocaine, and alcohol. Boyfriend found me unresponsive on his couch. When I finally awoke in the hospital I couldn't hear a thing! Hearing eventually came back, but, I don't know what is happening to me now.Sure there were some cognitive issues for a bit, but now...short and long term memory loss, confusion, sometimes can't even form a complete sentence because I can't recall words! I have an impressive vocabulary, well, did.

Any thoughts, suggestions....anything would be appreciated. Thanks
I really wish that I had written a lot more here. The mention of a drug overdose surely scares one away. Am I even in the right forum? Should I be in several? BTW: clean for quite a few years...YAY
I needed to be more specific in what I was asking in terms of why I'm scared. I just lose words and have alot of trouble typing fast enough (ormaybe too slowly?) to find the words I am looking for. I have a few for an instant but by the time my fingers get to the right keys they have gone.
I think I will write down what I want to say, then type it out. Maybe it would make more sense that way? Also, I need to do what I put in my bio : obtain medical records from age 15 (first car wreck) through to the more recent stuff.
Please bear with me while I try to make the right connections and head myself, hopefully, toward answers that will help me figure this stuff out.
Thanks,
Me
