About two years ago I fell off a ladder about ten feet and landed on a large root with my face and crushed my cheek inward (there is another name for the bones Zgobial or something) knocked out a front tooth and broke my wrist. I hit very hard. I am a stout man and don't injure easily, kind of bounced as it were.Diffident black out or loose consciousness. However I went to the er for help. while I was there trying to ex plane what had happened to whom ever it was, that I broke my face and I broke my arm. they could not see any damage to my face, but could see damage to my wrist it was obviously broken but my face had swollen only enough to fill in the depression left from the crushed inward bones and there was no bruising visible or so they said, there was really no evidence they could see that I broke my face. so they took me back and ex-ray my wrist and confirmed that it was broken and that they were calling in an or tho to set it. which they did in some sort of torture device that I stuck my fingers into and a cinder block around my elbow. they did inject some sort of numbing agent into my wrist(Thank God) And set it.
![]() Any hoo I was given a referral to a doctor in another city that was a plastic surgeon who fixed my face and did a great job at that. Now here is why I am writing all this My Life has gone to hell since then all kinds of problems and the only thing that I can find out here, is that I must have had a traumatic brain injury. all the pieces fit, even more so yesterday, when I went to a free clinic for an abscess on my scrotum (Not related I don't think but it's arrival is the same time period, of my recovery from the surgery to my face.) after checking my vitals my blood pressure was 175/115. I have never had any health issues my blood pressure at the time of my injury was 120/75 or there about. So at this point I have self diagnosed my condition. I have had a TBI when I said that my life had gone to hell I meant it literally. I have lost everything that was near and dear to me, form my wife throwing me out to having not a dime to my name .I have one friend who has taken me in temporarily. in the hopes that I could find a job and get on my feet. It was over the Christmas holiday that I was in his house. for about a month alone that I discovered that I most likely have a TBI I went to Social services and got food stamps and a referral to SSI and medicaid which I have and am going thru now finally have two appointments for this month. And a life lock phone so at least I can call people and make appointments. thing is that I need help to get better if that is even possible. My friend is back now from his family vacation he didn't know me before the injury. I have tried to enplane what it is but since he cant see it,so it does not exist. same for the Dr yesterday. My Friend he has given me till the end of the month to find a job which I honestly have tried to find in the interim with no success. I don't think at this point I am even employable. I was prescribed high blood pressure medicine that I cant afford and an antibiotic and Prozac from the Dr yesterday. I am concerned that there might be a adverse effect if I do take the medicine prescribed, after What I have read about this condition. Not to mention that He did nothing but prescribe an antibiotic for the abscess and tell me I was depressed and that none of the symptoms I have are related In about two minuets. Will that the visit yesterday prevent a more through examination, when I do get to see the other dr's this month. Please getting desperate for a diagnosis ![]() This might be hard to read but I am doing the beat that I can so please any input is welcome |
