GIRL! You are a woman after my own heart! I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE animals ~ especially dogs! I think the dog whisperer is righteous! My husband swears I can talk to animals since the TBI! Hey, maybe I can, or MAYBE animals feel the easy spirit I have with them! Have always wanted a horse, as well. Never had one, but took horseback-riding in college. Love to talk with you, my friend!!!

I am a TBI/BI survivor!!! I had a really bad TBI back in Oct. 85. I was in a terrible car wreck. The car & me were totaled. I don't know if I was thrown out or got out & started walking dn the middle of the rd, but somehow I got out of the car & was walking dn the middle of the rd on a foggy night. Would have been ran over by a vehicle most likely or wound up in wandering off the rd into a ditch or woods where I might not have been found. At any rate this guy got me out of the rd & took me in his home, where he & his wife kept asking me questions that I couldn't answer. They refused to call for help because I couldn't answer anything--there's irony!!! The fact that I couldn't move, couldn't see, & couldn't remember anything, & that my head was the size of a hot air balloon was clue that I needed help!!! As I say, once they laid me on the couch, I no longer had the ability to move any part of my body!!! I did not know who I was, any names of anybody that I ever knew before, my parents/friends, etc......... I couldn't see, just hear. I was convinced that I was paralyzed, that I would never remember, & that I would never see again. When I finally made it to the ER, I got checked out, but then the doc told my mom that I got what I deserved because I hadn't been wearing a seatbelt!!! So, I was sent home with my parents--where I lay in bed staring at the ceiling until I slowly recovered on my own. I laid there all freaked out, not knowing what all was wrong with me or how to fix it. Or if I'd ever be alright, or normal again. I lost my best career/job in the whole world--for me anyway; lost my car, lost my apartment; lost my friends, my church, my family--if I ever really had any of them???!!! After my car wreck, they all disappeared, but my parents, who didn't have a clue what the hell was going on, what to do or how to fix it!!! We never had a good relationship b4 that so it was really strained after that! And, I just loved the way friends & church people disappeared after my wreck. No cards, no flowers, no visits!!! I left them all behind & never looked back!!!! At any rate, since then I've been in 2 more car wrecks, had a C-Spine injury, head injury, more whiplash, etc..... My ALZ father messed with my ceiling fan & I had some of that dropped on my head when I turned it on. H.I. from that. Dogs made me take a flying leap off my front porch--HI, both arms in splints, messed up neck, legs, etc.... after landing on my head. Anyway, I have had falls, had things fall on my head, been in car wrecks, been hit, etc.... & had multiple head injuries!!!! My head is now solid red marking it as a permanent target--LOL LOL LOL Don't forget the wht circles! I have PCS--Post Concussion Syndrome--physical, cognitive/memory, etc..... & now I have an appt. coming up on the 28th--Thursday, to see a Neuro to have a full battery of test--EEG, MRI, etc.......... to determine if I'm having seizures, if I have damage or scar tissue, some kind of tumor, or what going on in my big damaged beat up brain!!!!!!! I am terrified!!!! I am already going through more than I can handle!!! Recent major surgery--then Dad had to b rushed to ER & died 3 days after, 2 wks after my surgery; then funeral, then a doc trying to say that I'm having seizures, etc...... I got a stupid red neck neighbor shooting in my back yard constantly, his pit bulls terrorizing us & the neighborhood, & now he's got the HD breathing dn my neck, & I may b taken to court pretty soon & may b fined & kicked out of my home. I have a pack of dogs, & love them dearly, got my cert. in DT/DOI. Really want to get much experience & go on to train service dogs--for people like us, or any handicap!!! In the mean time, if I go to court & get kicked out of my house, I may b in danger of losing all my dogs!!!!! At the very least their life will b in danger if they have to stay outside--from my neighbor & his Pits, & dog theifs. & it will make my life even more horribly difficult than it is now. So, I really need some major support, some good ears, & a heck of a lot of prayers!!!!!!
