Like many of you I spend way to much time thinking about this stuff but I decided to keep an updated logg of my progress and what better place to keep it than here.
Back in 98 while in basic training I was knocked unconcious when a fellow recruit hit me in the head from behind by swinging butt stock of his m16 like a batt. I was unconcious for nine hours and awakened at 3 am when I was found in the woods.
The drill sgts swept it under the rug and was simply labeled as a training accident.
Fast forward 14 years and I have many problems.
Sever loss of hearing
Loss of balance
Slurred speech
Numbness in left facial area with drooling
Decreased memory
It was all a lil too much and I contacted the suicide hotline.
In the middle of may 2012 I was seen by a phych and after describeing my symptoms the doc asked if I ever had an head injury to which I described the above.
A week later I went to intake were I was recommended to go through neurology.
The first week of june I was seen by my provider. I was given a cat scan wich came back clean.
My next apointment was the beginning of july 2012 with my provider. I am now scheduled for the following in the month of July 2012
