Hi my name is Lisa Wheeldon, I am 32 and live in the Great state of Indiana. I was injured on May 19th and had surgery on May 20 for two giant aneurysm's I spent only four days in and out of a comatose state in a icu unit so I feel very lucky.I then spent two more days in a regular room before I was allowed to go home. I think the thing that hurt me most when I got home was I did not know my mother or my children. My memory did come back slowly but the anger came with it. This was the time that I also remembered that I was a firefighter and a emt. I was going to college to be a nurse and now all of that was gone. I turned into a very hateful person for several months then I found the TBI support chat and the wonderful people in there helped me through a lot of the bitterness that I was feeling. it has been 9 months and I am still not able to do much due to headaches that are unbearable I pass out for no apparant reasson with out warrning so I am not able to drive. I fired my neurosurgon because he was very arrogant and told me there is nothing wrong with me because he does not make mistakes and my new neurologist does not agree with him. through the help of good friends I have became a much better person and hope that I continue to grow as a person with the things I have experienced since the TBI
may God bless you all
forever hugs
Lisa
