Hi, everybody:

On August 25, 2001, I was struck and injured by a car while crossing the street on a crosswalk. The car's bumper hit my left knee; I rolled on the car's hood; I hit the car's windshield, which was pushed in the shape of my head; and I was thrown 40 feet (about 12 meters).

I do not remember anything from this accident. The last thing I remember before being struck by the car is the car being right next to me, ready to hit me. The next thing I remember is "waking up" on the street, in a pool of blood. The bones in my left knee were all broken but, more important, the bones around my right eye were also broken. I was also throwing up blood, even though I did not swallow any.

I would like to know if I can get early Alzheimer's Disease from the concussion on my head. I am a female. I was 26 years old when I had the accident. Now, I am almost 37 years old.

Thanks for your answers.
