Yes, this is one of the hardest things to deal with. I find myself not knowing who I am. I admit I am detached from a lot of things. I am short tempered,and sometimes impulsive.

I honestly don't try to dig too deep about what's going on with the drunk driver. It gets me emotional, and I just block it out.

Thank you! I am proud of the progress I have made, and count my blessings daily.

I was in the ICU for two and a half weeks. Came close to having to have a craniectomy done because the pressure inside my head was building up, thankfully I lucked out and the swelling went down. I had several different brain bleeds, and my electrolytes plummeted, almost put me into heart/kidney failure.

I really have no recollection of the whole hospital stay. When I was discharged, in late July, I still was out of it. I started to slowly come out of this foggy feeling like towards the beginning of September 2014.

Now I have good days & bad days, my neuro doctor's tell me it's miracle with all my injuries, that I am progressing very well,and it's just going to take time. The time issue affects me, because I was so used to just doing things, and going places, etc. Now, I just really don't have the energy, or the patience to be around people. It's hard adjusting to not being able to drive, loss of self independence. I am still at risk for seizures so it's not a safe decision for me to drive.

I have no memories of when anything happened. I've been told that after the accident, somehow I was walking around like nothing happened.
