Hello
 
Hello All,
4 months ago I was struck in the drivers side of my vehicle by a loaded school bus that ran a stop sign on a rural county road. I was cut out by the first responders who saved my life(Thank you). I dont remember any of the accident and very little if any of icu or the hospital stay at all. I was given several units of blood and had head surgery.
I broke my neck, sternum, ribs, massive open head wound and suffer from TBI. As my Neck and bones have healed I still suffer from vertigo, speech issues, cognitive issues, tinnitus, hearing loss, depth perception and massive headaches.
I am in therapy daily and am getting tired.
Anyway dont want to bring anyone down and thank you for having me on your forum.

Hi Idaho, welcome. Don't worry about bringing us down that's what we are here for. My TBI was over 18 months ago; I wish I would have found the forum sooner. Check out the TBI/PCS forum (tamiloo's link above), that's where a lot of us TBI survivors hang out.

Like you I don't remember my accident or much about the time I spent in ICU, but I'm grateful to the 1st responders and surgeons and other doctors who saved my life. I do recall the daily therapy, it was exhausting but that and time has (mostly) healed the deficits from my TBI. Best to you on your recovery journey.

:hug:
