The sad thing is the doctors gave me an option! They said, "well, we would like to keep you the night for observation, but if you want to go home with your roommate (who is a nurse as well), you can go."

I was in complete shock from the accident and didnt even know how sick i was until the next day. I wish i could post the picture of me from when i woke up...racoon eyes, my right eye was swollen shot, 2 fat lips, and other bruises on my face along with 39 bruises on my body. Couldnt get my words out, stuttering, etc.

I woke up to 2 police officers in my hospital room and they told me i was assaulted because i sure looked like i was. I just wanted to get home so i could figure out what happened. I was smart enough to make an appt with my doctor for the next morning while i was still in my hospital bed before the office closed for the day knowing i was going home.

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability.
Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.
