I stayed in the hospital for a month receiving intensive therapy. My memory was severely damaged and I also lacked motor skills on my left side of my body.
It was 21 days in the hospital before my memory started to return. I remember it as the time my teacher friends came to see me. I was thrilled and excited to see them while I was still coming to grips about why I was even in a hospital.
Then through the help of good friends and family members, who drove me back and forth to the hospital for more continued therapy, I slowly began my healing journey. It was a tough time for all involved and I am very grateful for their help during this upsetting time.
The doctors showed me the x-ray of my MRI examinations. It was just a pinpoint section of my brain affected. I had what is called a closed head injury caused by the sudden movement within the cranium skull (brain). This affected the blood flow and the pressure inside my skull.
My memory started to return slowly. I still continue to this day to have short-term memory losses.
I want to thanks friends and family for their help at this time.
Lynette, After sitting in the hospital for days waiting for you to awaken, Your eyes blinked and you asked me what i was doing there. I told you that you had been injured and that the Doctors and Nurses were going to get you well. I guess that I started crying because your Nurse told me that your were going to recover. I was living at Gun Barrel City at the time and on my way back to get clean clothes, a Police Officer stopped me for speeding in a small town. I told him that i had just left you in Austin and was paying good attention. he told me to go on but be more careful. I was. Later I came back to see you in recuperation and was relieved that you were progressing. I feel that you were saved for a good reason and am glad you are here. Dad.
