I suffered a TBI after my truck fell on my head. The main thing that was damaged was my optic nerves. I was in recovery for about 8 months. I was only aware for 6. I'm doing a lot better now and living on my own now. My survival chance was 20%.

The end is so true. It can take a long time. I’m about 2 years in and still recovering. Recovery is hard and mundane but the most rewarding thing ever

I was glad to finally see a video that showed the process from the accident to ICU to acute care and onward. My adult stepdaughter's biological father (71 yoa) was in a serious MVA (no seat belt) last week and has been diagnosed with severe diffuse axonal injury. They can't perform an MRI due to his pacemaker not being compatible, but the CT scan shows bleeding/lesions peppered throughout his brain. The hospital is already making plans to have him transferred to a long term acute care hospital once they wean him off the ventilator. My stepdaughter is terribly stressed as she is left with making all the decisions and lives several states away from her father.

Thank you for this video. It is very helpful. Shortly after college graduation I still had a lot of assignments to finish and I Collapsed, hitting my head on the edge of my table where I was working on my last assignments. I Woke up in the hospital and after telling the staff what last happened before my collapse. They discovered a blood clot that had to be flushed out. I am still recovering from mild traumatic brain injury. It's already been a year since my accident.

Well done. This is a good summary of the dedicated medical practitioners contribution to BI recovery. Recovery is a long process requiring tremendous work and optimism.

I had a TBI in 1977 and 8 years as an outpatient and I have family in Alberta greetings from Scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I have had a concussion after multiple blows to the head where I cannot move my neck for almost a week and was in constant pain!!

My TBI was 6 years ago. I was 47 years old. After spending 2 weeks in ICU after a Crainecyomy, I was sent home with my mom to fend for myself. I haven’t been able to figure out why I can’t do certain things and haven’t been able to work. I met someone recently who also has a TBI and she told me to Call an attorney so that I can collect Social Security. This has been a complete nightmare for me! I wish I would have had this type of care to help me get back to my life!!

Would you be excited by exchanging hyperlinks?

very lnformative

Thanks 😊

Y'all have great stories I just searched something and this interested me. Don't ask.

Hello my brother is currently in this kind situation and the Doctor said that he needs a brain surgery which can't be done in the country or neither the hospital. So do think he will survive without the surgery?

Wow this is the most accurate video

I really hope @Prichard colon wakes up one day and is back to reality , his story is so heartbreaking and I wish it never had happened 💔💔💔 #JusticeForPrichardColon !

Fish oil Omega 3, blueberries and other brain food for brain injury

I breathed in a toxin at work. This caused 'enormous' 24/7 headaches for 3 months. Now, I have double vision in both eyes...everytime I push or indeed stand for too long I get enormous left sided headaches, double vision gets worse, fatigue etc. My neurologist says my scans are ok but I simply can't push out of it. I spend most days seated. It's been over a year now. I'm so unhappy. Does anyone know what I should do?

I was in a automobile accident on my 21st birthday, I was asleep in the back seat when the driver went for her phone which had fallen into the passenger floorboard; she went off the road and flipped the car I flew forward smashing and shattering my face, then folded in half backward into the passenger seat floorboard. I broke my l2 and my l3, my nose my jaw, my forehead, my eyesockets, my face and suffered severe traumatic brain injury. I was in the hospital for a week before the had me "alive" enough to send me home, I was only awake for two of those days. Never have I had anyone professional help me. Never have I went back to the doctor. Not because I don't care, I want to know what all is wrong with me I still have real struggles with my short term memory. I still go to work I still pay my taxes and I am still a father and a husband to those who need me, I just wonder how bad is it and will I have permanent or degenerative side effects I'm 29 now and while I have improved a lot there is still a lot I can't improve.

Tragically Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy [ HBOT ] is not readily available in emergency situations

I suffered a brain injury and i was in a coma for 3 weeks. I died during that time and they had to refibrulate me. I woke with all my faculties still in order, except for talking. That came back to me my first week. They put me in speech classes and one other for 8 weeks. I had to have brain surgery in 6 months. I AM A MIRACLE! And I've found Jesus. He helped me get through this. When I died, God and He didn't want me yet so I LIVED. It happened 12 years ago. I've been going to church for 5 years now. I live on my own and can drive, speak, and talk. I recovered in 5 years plus three more. I only have God and Jesus to thank and the doctors and nurses. I'm happy!

I was hit by a car that drove into my lawn trying to kill me going like 50 and I have nerve damage severe nerve damage on the right side of my body will I ever be able to get help months later I was in the back see when someone drove me into a tree going like 60 and now I suffer from traumatic brain injury will I ever be able to get help for my problems

I love it It's an inspiration

Ugh.our brains are to damn fragile

Hello sir brain injury March 2020 finger note working ur sujtion please 🥺🥺🥺🥺

The estimate was 10% of military personnel.

Is it real story

How long should a person be in ICU after the brain injury?

Wish everyone I knew could just watch this video..

Yeah your right...i do look like a brain damaged person..cause as far as i can see most of them look like everyone else....

Hi it is really

Tua injury brought me here

The most important aspect of brain repair is not explained well enough at all. Video is non-specific and makes it seem that all patients will walk, talk, and do many, many, other things. The tragedy for those who struggle for years is excluded from information. Don’t hide the truth.
