I decided after 7 years to finally share my experiences as a person with a closed head injury. Some days are funny, some are not and some are just how it is. I want people with closed head injuries and those who love them to know life isn't easy sometimes and I wish I had a giant band aid to put on my head so the public would understand my sometimes, unexplainable actions. How is this? I do my best.
In 2007 when I had my bike accident my daughter wanted me to try and journal my journey back to being healthy but I couldn't because my brain wasn't ready to work in sentences.
Quick history: Out for a bike ride to train for a triathlon with my husband and my back tire hits a curb, always rode the trail never happened before. I broke my elbow, collarbone and slammed my head on the road. The impact cracked my helmet. (See, yes I did have one on or I wouldn't be here so I've been told)
Now you know. It's 2013 and I still struggle daily. I couldn't drive for years and I have to take anti-seizure medicine twice a day. I can't even fill my own medicine box because I get the pills confused. Frustrating, but I accept it and my husband fills the boxes for me every week. I wanted to drive but early on when I tried driving I couldn't remember what the red, yellow or green lights stood for as I was coming up to the intersection! I took myself off the road.
This blog will contain current events in my life and some from the past because I don't remember things in order. My family laughs because I might say something from years ago! OK my husband just walked in and I lost my train of thought, so the point I was trying to make is gone.
Thus not quite right! You will hear from me soon when my brain wants to share.
