I am here now with a sense of humor about the fact that my head feels like a giant baloon being squeezed from the bottom by my ever tightening neck muscles, vision damage, optical trauma, muscular damage, weakness in my right side and just all around Disorientation and fogginess.

All in all yes, I am feeling "better"... but I have such a long way to go it gets hopeless feeling some times. I have my good days and bad where I tend to fight tears which definitely doesn't help the ever present headache. I am an eternal optimist though, what doesn't kill me better run, and fast!
Hi and Welcome, thank you for sharing your last 8 months history. Your life turned upside down on that day. For some, like you, it is an accident, for others it's a diagnosis of a disease or disorder. But it's all life altering and traumatic.
I'm sure you will find a lot of encouragement and support here on NT. We especially need it when going thru health issues.
I have found so much support here and educational information. Know you will find the same. Take care, loretta
