Fulgrim Posted December 14, 2018 About 5 weeks ago I was walking to my job. I was crossing in the cross walk with the walk light light up. Some dude came flying trough the intersection and hit me. It was they call a double impact. I wound up on his hood and smacked my head on his front wind screen. When that happened he slammed on his breaks. This launched me off his hood. I wound up with a traumatic brain brain January. I had a couple class calls the first couple weeks in the hospital. I don't remember getting hit and the first two weeks in the hospital. But I did get released from the hospital today. The whole thing left me with balance issues, some bad heads aces and issues with things like sitting down fast or turning fast giving throwing a my balance or a head ache. I also have some sears on my head and one on my face. Recovery is going to take a while. But once every thing is healed, I'll be back to normal. Thankfully the guy stayed with me and got me help. I wouldn't be here if he didn't. 40 Share this post Link to post

Dark Pulse Posted December 14, 2018 Don't really know you, but this sort of thing happening really sucks. Take it easy, don't push yourself too hard, and don't get frustrated if it takes awhile to come back - and especially if it doesn't fully ever come back. Brain injuries are no joke. Hopefully you're not dealing with seizures and higher stroke risks in the future. :/ 0 Share this post Link to post

Pure Hellspawn Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) I saw this on the "Popular Post" topic. Hope you are doing okay. What an awful thing to happen, and a remainder never to take anything for granted. 2 hours ago, Fulgrim said: Thankfully the guy stayed with me and got me help. I wouldn't be here if he didn't. Smart move on his behalf to stay with you. He could have gotten over a decade in prison for not doing so. 1 Share this post Link to post

wheresthebeef Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Got an uncle that was hit around last Christmas. He was on the hood of the car and got flung forward too. Driver tried to take off but luckily there was a third person on the scene and made sure he didn't. It sounds like you will end up better off than him. He hasn't become crippled but he isn't going to work ever again and I know he has a couple other issues. I've also got a friend that was on a bike and collided with a truck when it was taking a sharp turn. The truck got totaled and he got pronounced dead at one point but many years later all he really has is some gnarly scars. I once stubbed my toe getting out of the shower and my skin slightly turned pale. We all pulled through and I know you will, too! 0 Share this post Link to post

That's the right thing to do, to amend the terrible thing that he did and support him at all times. Respect for the man and, @Fulgrim, wish you the best of luck in your recovery and have a normal life ahead. Thumbs up... 0 Share this post Link to post

kb1 Posted December 15, 2018 @Fulgrim: Best of luck on your recovery, and I hope you feel better. Get better first, but then you might consider consulting a lawyer. Hopefully, the guy was insured, because he's responsible for your medical costs. A good lawyer will sure the driver's insurance considers what's called "punitive damages". Punitive damages consider long term issues (which I sure hope you don't have.) Sometimes problems can occur later, that aren't noticed right away. A good lawyer can help you get properly compensated. Feel better soon! 1 Share this post Link to post
