The Coma
After the coma I had a hard time during my recovery. They tell me that my short-term memory had been affected by the accident. Although I remember nothing of the accident and pieces of my stay in the hospital, everything is just kind of hazy.I recall pretty much everything from my previous 24 years of life. I guess as much as anyone else can recall. But from the accident which was now a year ago until about 2 months ago has been hazy and filled with strange dreams.
My therapist Gina recommended I write in a journal to stimulate my brain activity. “Exercise for the mind” is how she put it. I say it ‘s another way of saying diary. My friend David recommended that I start this blog to work through the head trauma and make the recovery process go more quickly. Blog sounded a lot better than Diary to me but I know I’m only deluding myself on this.
What I’m really hoping to get out of this is something more than just exercising my mind. I need to write out all of my activities and experiences so that I can work through everything. I have been having off the wall dreams and thoughts entering my mind from nowhere that make absolutely no sense to what I’m doing at the time. It confuses and scares me to no end. I’ve mentioned these things to Gina a number of times and she said that this is not uncommon considering the type of injury that I sustained. It still freaks me out.
