For some who have experienced severe brain injury, it's like waking up as a toddler, or maybe even a one year old. When I woke up from my induced coma after the brain injury incident, it was like being a toddler. I remembered 11!!all of those from my childhood, but not my wife back then , my children, or those who I knew as an adult, maybe a teenager!!
That has to be one of the hardest things to experience, especially if you are the spouse, children or a friend when they don't remember or even recognize them. That was me!
And when I think about that in this day and time , I think it explains why my wife of those day separated from me and then filed for divorce. And due to my thinking be different I believe that and not having daily relationship with them is why my children slowly faded away to the point the broke of my relationship with them.
Let me tell you something you have to remember. You ability to remember your current relationships, your current age, where you've been living, what field of work your currently in, you might not remember at the current time when you are in rehabilitation! But you know what? That is currently fine!! And for some of those who have had certain kinds of brain injuries you might never remember certain things or not remember anything after a certain part of your life or you might have to grow up again completely with a new life!
Just don't blame yourself !! It's just a type of life you might have to live. But do not throw your new life away! I didn't!! As my blogs start getting posted I pray I can be a help to anyone in the world of brain injury!
