The TBI Chatroom |
On April 8, 1987 Me and Chuckie went to work again I was on my bike. We both left around 6PM. I crossed big street and was hit by a car. I flew 30-50 feet (witnesses account) and back down on my head. I was in a coma for 9 days. The accident caused Gran Mal seizures, Left body partial paralysis (my left arm and hand I can't use and left leg is a little slow. I have short and long term memory retrieval problems and other things also. I have panic attacks a lot. The doctors' say from testing it is from seizure activity. I go to Long Beach City College and disabled services helps me. I go roller skating every Saturday night. The owner doesn't call paramedics like he used to when I have a seizure, he usually calls my home now. I live at home and hope to work in a medical office when I graduate from college. It will take longer because of my memory and the need for repetitions. I don't have a close friend anymore because he joined the army.
If you want to you can Email me at THEPALM@THEGRID.NET I had a pen pal but she has stopped writing. I don't know why. I am going to try to get my picture scanned for my page with the actor E.Martinez who stayed with us at the Calif. Head Injury Walkathon for hours and gave autographs. He was really nice. It was 1997 and month was September I think.
Thanks; "D.J."
