I have not posted for a while and I am sorry for that. There is a good reason, though.
We were hit by a large pickup truck with a big snow plow on the front. During the accident, I hit my head on the “Oh, shit!” handle and suffered a brain injury. Two days after the accident, I also developed Post Concussion Syndrome as a result of the injury, and the doctors in the ER told me that it could take up to a year to fully recover and that some people never fully recover, but that most people are symptom-free by three months after the brain injury occurs.
Fortunately for me, this seems to be the case. I am feeling much better now, with only occassional bouts of dizziness. The ringing in my ears is getting better, I have regained most of the strength in my arms and legs and my pupils are mostly the same size again. My memory and concentration problems are mostly gone, too, and the headaches are not constant anymore, they are infrequent and getting better every day. The thing that continues to plague me is the insomnia and resulting fatigue. I haven’t slept more than about 5 hours in one night since the accident.
I had a birthday two days ago. We went and played lazer tag and it was much fun. I like lazer tag. 
My husband’s girlfriend still lives here, I can’t remember if I mentioned that in a previous post or not… She is here and Saturday night she threatened my son, so she will not be here much longer. Either she goes or my son and I go. I will not have her threatening my 10 year old son.
So, now that it is very late, I need to go and try to get some sleep. I will write more soon.
