My life changed July 28 2006. Thats when TBI became part of me and I became a part of TBI. I have always tried to be a huge mulitasker. Never slowing down. I was a huge control freak however now I feel as if I have no control. I was a billing clerk in a medical office. A practice with 15 doctors. I had my 1st baby June 2nd of 2006. I was out of work on maternity leave. My accident happened on a Fri. I was to return to work Mon. Now I am unable to return at this point. I am hoping and praying that will eventaully change. My husband works 16 hr shifts mon-fri. and my mom stays with me and my daughter all day. She takes me to PT OT and speech 4x a week. I am unable to take myself. I was involved in a car/train accident. My fault. Completely. The cross guard had dropped. Train coming red lights flashing. 3 people before me had went around and over the tracks (so they say because I have no memory of that day, guess thats not a bad thing-don't need vivid memories) At least the train was slowing down to make a planned stop eventually. 7.5 blocks down the road and 9 mos later here I am. I had humorous fracture, pelvis fractures, broken strum, broken ribs, collasped lungs, double mandavil fracture, numerous facial fractures, and TBI. I was air lifted to a major hospital. EMS thought I was clincally dead at 1st. I spent several weeks in a coma. My jaws were wired shut for healing. I had a tracheotomy quite some time. What day is which is still a blur to me. I feel as if I now have no concept of time. My main need and want is to be a good wife and decent mom. I know it is not all about me but it has been alot lately. I do not want it to all be about me. I feel you guys in TBI chat understand. I did learn the hard way to slow it down.

I tyed my story in once and I don't think it showed up I hope it takes this time. I am still learning.
