What you've missed

So I know everyone wants to know all the details, but I'm still not sure why.

Here goes.

On Monday morning I was biking to work and was going to cross an intersection... well I thought it was safe to assume that cars stop at red but I guess I was wrong because the police report says I was hit by a car going 40, which makes this situation just a little serious. I remember thinking I was going to die and rolling up onto the windshield but when I hit the pavement things went black until I woke up to paramedics, an ambulance, 2 police cars, 2 fire trucks, and a few civilians. Yeah, that's when I think the panic set in. They wouldn't let me stand up and walk over to the ambulance (I know, right?) So I was loaded on a stretcher and rushed to Regions hospital where they cut all my clothes off and put an oxygen mask over my mouth. I couldn't really tell you, I was still in and out of consciousness and in and out of panic attacks. However, I did get my CT scans and X-Rays...

This is how it goes. I have the cuts and bruises you'd expect from being thrown 15 feet from a car. On top of that is a fractured skull and internal bleeding near my brain. It's pretty cash ha. I have been on pretty heavy duty watch every night, waking me up every hour to check all my vitals and check my nerve functions. On top of that, every 5 hours I have been stabbed to check my sodium rates (if the sodium level is low I am in danger for seizures so the whole head trauma thing has more effects than I knew). I had a second and third and fourth CT scan and the neuro surgeons said the bleeding in my head is stabilizing soooo I don't even have to have brain surgery so that's the good news.

The bad news is that it'll take up to 3 months for the fracture and bleeding to heal itself so for the next few months I can have recurring migraines, pressure, dizziness and nausea at random times without warning or explanation.I have four staples holding the back of my head together near the fracture and the internal bleeding there especially caused that part of my brain to swell. It is the center of the brain dedicated to my equilibrium which explains why I am so dizzy and hence nautious, not keeping meals down until today at last.

The most ironic part? I was coming down with something Sunday until my dad found bad plumbing and resulting mold problems in our basement. I apparently was the most sensitive to that. Monday morning he was telling me about it and suggesting I slept somewhere else for a couple nights...Funny that his wish was granted, eh?I was told if I went 12 hours without puking I could be discharged. This is that time. So wish me luck.

I think I covered it all but feel free to make comments or ask questions.I have definitely felt the love. I love and appreciate each and every one of you :)

The end.
