What is MyTrauma.org ?
That is a simple question answered. This is a well defined site that is for people and family members that have suffered TBI/ABI(Traumatic/Acquired Brain Injury) personally or a family member suffering from TBI/ABI. I designed this site in hopes that it will cut out all the unnecessary data and gets to the bottom line. I am an ABI survivor myself and thought it necessary to help as much as I can so people like myself do not have to go through the struggle of finding out the reasons why, how and what do I do next.
I suffered my ABI on August 26th 2001. I suffered a cerebral malformation (AVM) in my left temporal lobe. It left me permanently brain damaged with allot of after affects. I was left partially blind, short term memory loss, seizures, comprehension difficulties, word finding(anomia) and other difficulties after this bleed. I had brain surgery (craniotomy) 3 days after my initial bleed to surgically remove the AVM. My brain swelled abnormally large for a bleed and the doctors didnt think I was going to make it. I spent 7 days in ICU at St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester Minnesota. When I was discharged I was still trying to figure out just what happened to me and why!
I dedicated allot of time and effor to make this website happen. I want to help other stroke survivers get the help they deserve and need.
