Two close members of my family have both had very traumatic brain injuries, years apart from each other but suffer very similar symptoms. Not sure you will read this Barbara but I hope things have improved for you. If I could “Just Snap out of it” I would. I would gladly go through open heart surgery again if I could rather than what I’m going through after my TBI. Now I’ve lost everything, my family, and losing hope. I was a basically healthy working 53 year old. I had no symptoms prior other than occasional palpitations. I had a bad mitral valve that caused my lungs to fill up with fluid. All of this is one year ago I had open heart surgery. The chances of my daughter taking me in is slim. My sisters just don’t want to talk to me anymore. My daughter gets agitated because she “wants me to snap out of it”. I stopped cooking especially anything in oven because I forget I put it in oven and I can’t smell it when it starts burning. It’s caused my nausea to worsen and it’s hard to even eat.
It’s an awful smell like nothing I’ve ever smelled. Constant headaches vertigo nausea ringing in ears short term memory loss. I was told I had a TBI with multiple brain bleeds. No memory of the fall or being taken by ambulance. I slipped and fell hitting the back of head knocked unconscious. Good luck to you and thank God you have ppl now!! The Shepherd enter in Atl Ga is the BOMB for ppl like us!! Just started the therapy treatments!! Two neurologist after my accident told me there was no therapy for your brain!! Funny huh?! You would think brain drs were smart right, but naw just in certain areas of the brain I guess! One could have passed for a foot dr!!Įnjoy life, that’s what life is all about for me!!! I tried to go back to work, tried was ten months I shouldn’t have made myself try. So when I say something odd that’s when I get the strange looks, side whispers to other ppl, subject changes and all kinds of things that makes it clear to me what they think. Which in fact I am except my brain doesn’t work right or like it used to. Ppl that are able to stay home and do for themselves, like me, everyone looks and treats you as though you’re normal. Out of sight out of mind!! Care givers are great as long as they have a career of it, because it is so stressful for them. Ppl mean well but as soon as the bones are healed and scars are covered they forget. I had brain surgery, was in a coma (6 days) and in ICU for 8 days so there were and are plenty of ppl around me. I had road rash and a broken collar bone too. I had a motor cycle accident 3 years ago in Florida, mine was in the middle of street and as far as TBI goes I’m not sure if it was called minor or what but I do know it was critical care. That is amazing!!! Bless you for having to deal with this all on your own!!! I’m curious as to were you around anyone when your accident happened?
