Sorry to hear thats terrible, my uncle hit a deer coming around a bend maybe a decade or so ago, he got fucked up an was in a coma for a few days but he's probably 99 percent back to normal, im sure theres complications but private things he doesnt share im guessing. It's really just fucking luck when you dump a bike, I've dumped a few dirt bikes at a low speed an that fucked me up so I know its rough.
Yes, to the naked eye, my husband seems back to normal. People have known us for years without even suspecting it. But he's not normal. And he's also incredibly lucky. His grandparents have an absurd amount of money and made sure no stone was left unturned for his recovery. Even now they help us financially so we can live a very comfortable lifestyle. There are many things that become incredibly expensive and complicated once you enter the TBI world. We're also lucky because he's incredibly intelligent and had a good engineering job at a large aerospace company. He's now switching to the software field which is even better paying and has more opportunities to work from home. He has epilepsy and many other issues that make driving more than a few minutes to work a huge problem.
Most people with TBI are not nearly as lucky and as well supported as we are. If people knew what I know about TBI, they probably wouldn't risk a motorcycle. It's not just your own life you're risking. You're committing your children and spouses to that life, too.
Some women I know have coped by having a funeral for the man that is gone. Because no matter how lucky you are, there is no going back to the person you used to be.
Yeah TBI's are intense, my uncle had about 3 years of severe memory loss, over those three years he slowly got better an better. The brain is truly a strange thing, I really don't understand it because it seems like some can recover almost back to normal an some just have to adjust to a living dealing with it for the rest of their life. I can't imagine having to deal with such an injury and also I cant imagine falling in love with someone an them changing forever because of an accident and its no longer the same person you loved. Having a funeral for them even though they survived to cope is incredible ive never heard of anyone doing that, that's truly sad.
