My accident

Going to talk about my accident..

April 7 02 I was working near a pressurized steam pipe that over pressured and hit me in the head, above my left eye at the hair line and split back 4.5 inches of skull, then slammed my head into a wall causing a 2nd concussion andmore problems.

But I didnt pass out, the brain trauma people couldnt figure out why, they never saw anyone with that much damage, swelling, etc not pass out.. but if I would have passed out I would have fallen into a motor that was running and I would have died for sure.

I was able to walk the 100 feet across a busy road (some how, dont remember how because I couldnt see from the blood in my eyes) and get someone to help me. Which was my step dad and my brother in law, both have trouble talking about it, I was pretty bloody.

By the time I got to the hospital I lost about 3 liters of blood, they stopped it, and fixed me up.

9 months later I was able to start therapy, I was in bed or on a couch for most of the 9 months. For the next while (Dont remember how long, I have memory issues) I was in therapy (physical, mental, etc), and after the therapy I was able to work, but I was pushed out of therapy to quickly and I had a relapse which was bad, now I cant work out of the house because I suffer from migranes 2-4 a week, a daily hard headaches.

Migranes are triggered by smell, sound, light and stress. Workers Compensation Board (a bull shit Canadian governement cesspool) is still screwing around, might end up suing them for their lack of help.

I have scar tissue around the fracture on my head, but my hair didnt turn white there (damnit that would look cool), and I work when I can from home writing (lost my job when the company I worked for had to cut costs), but they sucked anyways.

Today is a bad day, I move and I fall down. but I have good days (I can drive for 20 minutes before I need to stop)

Thats the story, not much detail, but to much would be to personal
