I'll start by telling my story... August 6th 2010 at 11:55 am I took an elevator ride that changed my life forever...I was working for a law firm and was in a building on the 4th floor...I got into the elevator and hit the button for the lobby... The doors shut and it fell... It finally stopped just below the 1st floor... It took the fire dept almost 2 hours to pry the doors open and get me out... Come to find out I damaged every disk in my back and received a closed head brain injury... After 9 surgeries on my back and neck and almost 3 years learning to function again I thought I was good... December 3rd 2015 I got rushed to the ER with what I thought was a kidney stone on my left side... MRI revealed that my spleen had spontaneously ruptured...3 emergency surgeries later I was put into a coma for 3 weeks... And died 3 times... When I came out of the hospital I had found out my ex had been cheating since about a year after my accident... I must have turned into such an ass because I got rid of everyone in my life... It was like I woke up and was able to see everyone for who they really were... Except for my twin boys I have had no one in my life and anyone who tried to get close stayed for a while until I saw who they really were and pushed them away to... With all my current issues related to my spine and my brain... Which I'll list in a minute...I think the loneliness is the worst... My symptoms are... I've had a headache since the accident... Hasn't gone away...I have central sleep apnea that causes a splitting migraine almost every night at 3am... My body doesn't regulate temp well at all...I have facial and neck tics...I have seizures occasionally while I sleep, they say coming out of REM sleep is the trigger... Memory is shot... Left side weakness... Mood swings... Depression that comes and goes... Unless it's in my head I don't feel much pain... Fatigue but I can't sleep... I'm 100% disabled but I still try and work but I can't hold a job because of my issues...
