So I should probably start from the top, a question I've had constantly for the past few months; yes I got run over by a car whilst I was crossing the road from Uni. It was neither of the parties fault as there was a bus in front of me so I didn't see the driver. And he didn't see me. I broke my left femur, my right collarbone, and fractured 3 parts of my skull. I also had to have my lung pumped up as it deflated, not to mention having a brain bleed after I got hit on the head.
The brain injury name is 'diffuse axonal brain injury' which occurs after most car accidents. I has to be put into a coma and stayed in one for 2 weeks. They also had to cut my hair as there was so much blood. The more I talk about it the more I get upset. But I really am grateful for being alive and I'm immensely lucky as my accident was considered severe. Plus being only 20 at the time it helped a lot with my recovery. I couldn't speak for nearly 2 months, and it was like starting again from scratch. I couldn't walk obviously too.
I got admitted to a hospital called 'rookwood' in Cardiff end of July/start of august; and thanks to them I've had the best help. I probably wouldn't be writing this if they didn't help me.
I was discharged end of November thankfully, and I still hope all the people I met in there are still recovering well and get to go home soon!
I obviously didn't get to go back to Uni because of what happened but I'm hopefully going back next year. I also hope I can go back to my old job in house of Fraser next year too, I have to thank my Uni friends and work colleges so much for all their support. And especially HOF as they paid me extra due to my unexpected resignation. And because of my time away from the internet/shops it means I haven't blown all my money as usual on pointless things yet. So I'll obviously be posting a lot more of my purchases in the future!
Thankyou for reading and I hope this post helps people understand a lot more also.
