My injury & what happened to me
Ok here's my story I went to USA when I was at the age of 20 last year in December to find for a college to continue my studies & to get used to the weather there. Then like when it was close to Christmas my cousin's friend invited all of us teens to join, my bro, me, n lastly my cousin. So all of us went & after the party the girl invited me to try to ride the ATV bike with her so out of my curiosity I did n that's where I got my accident like it happened when the girl made a turn n I fell n cracked my skull n it became so major that even the police n the ambulance came n they had to airlift me up to the hospital, n my parents got a call straight from my uncle n aunt from the states n they bought the air ticket to USA, but who knew when I got into the hospital the doctor thought it was an über n major traumatic brain injury & that I had no hope to be saved already so he resisted by not operating on me until my parents came in case if when he operated & I'd really died on the operating table so then when my parents finally came everyone in my family begged him, then he only finally decided to operate on me n save my life, then after that I went into coma for 5 weeks after that 5 weeks I got to do a test n it's called the Glasgow coma scale test if I get between 12-15 n below I'm considered a vegetable, n the first week I got a 3 n mom was sad but after all my parents n nurses massages n all I got up to a 12 after another round of test n I went into an outpatient hospital, not only that but my aunt Nancy's church members & pastor came & prayed over me, so I then continue to have my first therapy there n worst part was mom said if I couldn't pass the test I'll be a vegetable n she would most probably disowned me. Anyways after I think in June timeframe I got discharged from the inpatient hospital n go to an outpatient hospital. Not only that but my dad was accompanying me throughout the whole time cause he took a year off from work, between mom n dad mom tried too but she couldn't cause her boss was kinda strict n dad's wasn't really, so it's not mom's fault that she couldn't be with her daughter, anyways after I was an outpatient I enjoyed it at first n dad was still there trying to get me the best outpatient therapist there is in our city n he actually managed!! He got me JFK but that's also with doctor's recommendation before I could go in n dad searched high n low for the best outpatient doctors again n he did it again he managed to searched for dr. Wu which convinced JFK that in few months time it'll be my 21st birthday n that I'm actually legal to go into JFK already n after dr. Wu which leads to dr. Mc. Cagg which was the doc that prescribed me the outpatient meds. N best was Kristin which was my OT cause she introduced bioness to my dad which was quite expensive but dad bought it anyway & with the usage of it every time I'm with either Kristin or dad during the weekends every an hour an a half without failure, my hand movement actually got better. Not only that but she actually made me walk from her office to the cafeteria every time when I'm with her without failure too. Not only that but Dana & Jessica my PT helped me loads too she thought me how to climb up the stairs n walking was her teachings too. And Michelle, Brittany & Nicole trained me how to lower my tone n speak loudly so that it'll be clear to everyone's hearing. N thanks to Tennille for making me be able to consume normal thin liquids just that due to my injury my body isn't fully recovered yet so I still have to turn to my left while drinking so that's not her fault too. I also had my 21st birthday celebration with my friends in the hospital that I was currently in too. Anyways mom did her part too by coming in June timeframe to visit me after I got out of the inpatient hospital just to check is everything is still good n to learn what the new therapist has got to teach her how to stretch n massage me at home n to also come in December to accompany me back through the flight as dad can't handle it alone n best part was that she actually bought everyone I knew n who treated me a present some even had two. Sorry guys pictures coming up soon cause its kinda hard to update it by phone.
