Peg DeJohn commented on James Sanders's blog post All new to me"I totaled my Harley back in 2009 and don't remember anything about the accident, how Mercy flight got me to the hospital ( I hate planes and if I woke up during the flight I probably would have jumped out) and the lst few weeks of rehab. ( I…"
Peg DeJohn commented on Peg DeJohn's blog post About Me"Thanks Kat, I haven't been to a neurologist since my 1st few months after my accident, I guess he thought that my age was a factor and wanted to wait it out after a year or so for my damaged nerves to be rewired and since I had no memory loss…"
Kat Z commented on Peg DeJohn's blog post About Me"Peg - the "fog" bothered me too. It felt like my head was stuffed with cotton balls, and I had a hard time concentrating and focusing. It does get better. Take things one step at a time, write notes if it helps you to organize and…"
Emerson commented on Peg DeJohn's blog post No Title"Peg, I think it is different for different people depending on the injury. I had horrible brain fog. I would forget I was talking to someone and just walk away in the middle of a conversation. I had days where, as Cynthia says below, I just had to…"
Peg DeJohn commented on Peg DeJohn's blog post About Me"Thanks everyone for replying. I was worried I had something worst happening to me. I am older than most who had their injury - age 61- and was worried is was dementia or Alzheimer setting in. ( I only have around 20 years left and hope my recovery…"
Cynthia Gurley commented on Peg DeJohn's blog post No Title"I was in a serious car accident in Feb 2010, and the fog rolls in without warning. Sometimes it gets worse when I'm tired and other times I wake up slow and never wake all the way up all day. I realized I was stressing so much to make it go…"
Richard J commented on Peg DeJohn's blog post About Me"Hello Peg and welcome to the forum. "Finding most people very young and not experiencing my symptoms" doesn't mean a thing. Recovery is person by person, and if somebody tells you that they don't have a same symptom, maybe they…"
Joyce commented on Peg DeJohn's blog post About Me"glad to see you here, its a journey its been 9 years now and i am still getting better my first 5 years i had the most recovery but like i say i still improve, we just have to keep fighting to gain good luck and welcome"
Jose commented on Peg DeJohn's blog post No Title"since my accident i live in a bubble to most, only 2 people can make it though its thick walls, and the fog continues some days are better than other but for me its been years"

About Me
Just found this website,
Totaled my Harley in 2009 and suffered serious head injuries that left me 8 days in a coma and given my last rites -my husband refuse to give up on me. Also had a birthday during my coma. Still trying to recover but head is in a bubble and have numerous headaches. Must be my age because I am finding most people very young and not experiencing my symptoms.
Damaged my right side nerves but my brain seems to be rewiring and my arm, hand is coming back. My…

Damaged my right side nerves but my brain seems to be rewiring and my arm, hand is coming back. My eye didn't so I wear a contac to block my vision and light and prevent double vision. Had surgery to move the eye to the middle for cosmetic reason. Just call me the one eye skier!
I had all my memory back when I first woke -except for the accident, able to walk, eat, etc. Had an injury that they discovered in therapy-rotator cuff and fractured bone and still receiving therapy for it.
Just a little annoyed that is been 15 months and I am still no disability. Hope to ski this winter. Start driving about 3 months ago. Guess I should be lucky that I am alive. Just call me Grandma Harley gone wrong
