Default head/mind/body

I am a 51 yr old male. On May 7,2012 I was in a car accident. A car hit me head on going 65 mph. My truck did multiple flips landing on the roof. I lost consciousness and was helicoptered out to shock trauma. I spent 3 weeks in hospital. broken heal, ribs, nose, a few teeth, tore my groin muscle in half, body was one big hematoma. Well it is now October 14 almost 6 mths later and my days consist of dr. appts 3 - 4 days a week. physical therapy ( still not walking) and counseling. I finally went to a psychotherapist a few wks ago per my nueroligists suggestion. Brain foggy all the time ( like the morning after you take niquil), concentration & memory problems, I cannot sleep (it is 3:34 am right now), moody, cry for no reason at all (emotions are a wreck), and have only driven 1 time since accident and that was a mess. My teeth actually ache. I feel like nobody in my family understands (truely understands my feelings and what i am going through). I have done everything expected of me in physical therapy and still cannot walk. She says it is the screws in my foot that may need to come out. Just need people to talk too that have been or are currently going through some of this. Some days I feel so over whelmed ( bills just keep coming in, dr. appts, lawyer, therapists and oh my insurance company).
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR READING THIS... any responses would be greatly appreciated

Welcome and sorry for the suffering and your struggles. Sounds like a truley hard trial you are going thru. Some here have had some physical struggles. Your are maybe the most severe I have read in this forum. Many of the symptoms fogginess, memory, confusion many here are familar with.

PCS can be like a many headed hydra. It can as you well know keep raising it's many heads and the symptoms can be long lasting. You are among good company. We understand as we are or have lived it. Vent if you need to, ask any questions you amy be curious about. There are some very savy people you may be able to help.
