Living with Traumatic Brain Injury

On the 19th of march 2009 i was riding my motorbike to work and was cleaned up by a young inexperience driver.

I spent 3 weeks in a induced coma before i was woken up. I had alot of broken bones, ruptureds spleen, a few spinal fractures and obviously a pretty severe head injury.

I had a shunt put in along with a trachea and was placed on fluids to keep me alive.

Since i woke up my entire left side of my body was useless, i have been through speach theropy, occupational theropy and am still doing physio daily.

Today marks 6 months from the day that stopped my life, im still in a rehabilitation hospital and im slowly begining to learn how to walk again.

I am lucky with the fact that my personality, vision, speach, thinking, problem solving are is not affected. I just have physical issues with making my left side working again.

I am 24 years old and my life has been and will be forever changed, some days i struggle to accept what has happened and what i will need to do to keep living a semi normal life.
