My attempt November 16th 2008.
How: 2008 Honda Civic EX into a wall at 75 MPH
<DONT TRY THIS!>
I have been in coma before for 3 months, and I just remember quite a few vivid dreams with no feelings involved in them. I wasnt happy, I wasnt sad, I was just neutral. Waking up was one of the most fucked up experiences of my life.
When I woke up I had a trach, catheter, feeding tube, and 2 IVs with multiple bags attached to each. I was not able to move, or speak or communicate in anyway. I woke up instantly frustrated, and started making loud random noises not understanding what was going on or who I was even. I remember when the nurses came in when I woke up and I thought immediately and still think to this day that I had been kidnapped by North Korea and they were stealing my organs so I attempted to escape. I ripped out my trach, feeding tube, IVs, catheters.
I attempted to stand up, and am immediately pushed back down before I could even get up. I did not stop trying to get up for a while. Eventually they restrained my arms, legs, and had mittens on my hands. All equipment was reinserted... I stay this way for days internally I felt that I was a prisoner. There was nothing I could do I was so atrophied from 3 months of coma.
<There is much more but it will take a very long time to write this all out and well I dont have the energy to type it>
Once I am able to understand somewhat I am told I had a Traumatic Brain Injury in my frontal left lobe, my face and skull were fractured to the point where I had surgery to remove all the bone fragments and it is replaced with titanium in the left side of my face, and skull, and I had nerve damage in my left side.<almost 11 years later I still cannot feel my teeth.>
This is a little about it if you want to hear more or see my trach scar let me know I can take a photo and blur the middle half of my face and show. I will do some gesture you choose so you know it is actually me. It feels good to talk about this to me I am glad I am able to do that here without judgement.
