I was in a car accident 4 years ago with my mother- from which I ended up with a depressed skull fracture that required surgery. I have had issues ever since, but have not made them known. I have always had dull pain on that (left) side of my head that comes and goes. There is a piece of either skull/metal that I can click back and forward with very little force (this has been getting progressively worse) and it sounds like it's crunching. Learning wise, I have no problem with memory but there seems to be something wrong with my ability to reason. I started to bring it up to my primary doc, but he was quick to say "that was just how it grew" before I got in to any of the specifics. Curious what your thoughts are!

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition. Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life. |
