I greatly apologize. I know many of you have been anxiously awaiting my follow-up posts, but haven't seen anything in quite some time. I've decided to both give you information about my life post-TBI as well as historical information about my injury.
As I emerged from my drug-induced coma after sustaining a TBI in 2000, I suffered a few focal seizures. I have no recollection of these seizures, but have been told they involved staring for long periods of staring. From that moment on, I was put on seizure medication.
Over the last 10 years I have attempted to be taken off seizure meds, but it never ends up in my favor. My recovery has been so miraculous in almost all other respects, that I think of this disorder as a mere inconvenience.
Patients of TBI and closed head injuries, need not be discouraged by the abrupt changes in their life. Nothing in this life is impossible, with hard work, a positive attitude, and persistence. I always knew that life post-TBI would be hard, but what would life be if we didn't have challenges? I am a much better person having experienced the many challenges of my TBI.
Its good to be back and I plan to write far more often, so that I can provide the hope and answers that you are searching.
