I've been wanting to do something for a couple of years now and I believe the time is here.
I have been wanting to start a head trauma helpline. A place for head injury sufferers to reach out to so they know that they arnt alone while trying to recover.
I feel that myself and my wife could be a help to some in need. If you suffer a head injury and don't have the right support or at least a way to get pointed in the right direction you are literally in a dark hole.
DO NOT think that your medical system or county assistance will get you thru.
My wife is a nurse of 38 years and without her help there is no way I'd be here today, not so much the medical stuff but all the hoops and ******** you have to go thru to help yourself. Help yourself regain control of your life, who to call, who's buttons to push.
My expertise comes thru getting myself a pretty good dinger. A crash resulted in a fractured neck and severe closed head injury. I was life flighted and spent the next couple/few years in a fog or worse. If I didn't have the expertise of my wifes experiences I would have been royally screwed.
Now I was extremely lucky to be married to who I am, my accident came 6 months after we met. She took the best care of me and my two young kids anybody possibly could. Actually as a little side note at the time of my injury I had just gotten hold of a 410 engine and was on my way to furfilling my life dream of running a 410 nonwing car. All that was gone along with my business so I was pretty bummed. One day a trailer pulls up in front of the house and out rolls the ugliest minisprint you ever seen. She bought it without me knowing so I could rebuild it for therepy.
I felt better the moment I tossed the wings in the trash.
Anyhow I'm pretty good now except for some short term memory issues and I'd love to help someone, anyone whom might need it. Now days with the interweb a lot can be done, for no expense. We wouldn't want a penny from anyone.
So anyhow that's what I'm working on, if you know of anyone who might like advice or would like to pick whats left of my mind you could pm me or email at guildorf9@yahoo.com
eventually I would like to make this a bit more formal.
