<div>Where to start...

</div>

<div>I was rear ended at a stop light 11/30/23. Got TBI (traumatic brain injury) whiplash cervical and lumbar, can barely use the left side of my body.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My life changed forever, it didn't only affect me it has been 10x harder on my wife/ best friend/ partner, my daughter Carlie and the few who stuck around that were brave enough yet not understanding how or what to do to help us.   

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>All i asked for was help for her by helping me and taking some of the burden off her being the only one helping me.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I know its been an impossible journey trying to heal from this yet my unrelenting no quit attitude and support/motivation from my wife, Carlie, and of course my dog Cali has kept me going.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>There have been so many reasons to give up,  but one of my main goals is to change how people with TBI are treated and bring awareness to what we deal with and how impossible it is to do the simplest things. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Im fortunate to have the core heal team i do. They haven't quit on me nor will they let me quit.  Jena pt, Aaron chiro, Matt therapist have been with me been with me since the beginning.  Through all the ups and downs, they are my rocks. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Ive been through every healer we could think of and see.   Been through so many Providers to find the right ones. 5 primary dr, 4 neurologist, 2 occupational therapist, 3 psychiatrist, physiatrist, spine specialist, concussion specialist, functional medicine, acupuncture, acupressure, massage,  reflexologist, pain specialist, 4 lumbar injections, 4 cervical injections, speech therapist,  wellness therapist, frequency therapy, optomitrist, neuro optomitrist nutritionist, and I know I'm forgetting some.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Been going to appointments 8-15 per week since accident all this to hopefully find the key to unlock and fix my mind.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Ive been willing to try anything/ everything to heal, no matter the results. From medications to meditation,  sound and frequency, even tho i don't notice the impacts my heal does and they learn from me to help others.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Ive had huge advances and major set backs.  Some hard lessons and heart breaks to unforgettable people and stories I've heard from others.   

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>When I fall i reach out for help not knowing what will catch me. Weather its words or music or even just a hug. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The last 2 months have been the hardest in my life.  My dogs and I were being attacked by something but my wife luckily wasn't,  anyway I found out 8/21 thru are called no-see-ums biting midges. I've been fighting to keep them off her and myself since.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>8/11 my wife had enough and pursued for me to get admitted because her nor anyone could see them and didn't know what it could be.. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>8/13 I was forced for 72 hour mental evaluation.  After being seen i was released after 36 hours with no mental illness but suffering from TBI.  Cleared from mental illness I went home to find out she filed an order for protection  against me for being delusional about seeing bugs etc.   

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I understand her frustrations and fear of her husband may have lost his mind.  I haven't lost touch with reality I was only motivated to show her what was happening and get our dogs healthy.  Again I understand her feelings and let being the only one and then gong thru this, to have your partner do everything to heal then now bugs .... she must have felt so disappointed that all her work was for nothing.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Since 8/14 Cali and I have been constantly searching for campground to stay at in our camper with hopes of making it home..

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We checked into our 3rd campground 8/22 and only found out the name of our attackers the day before.  When checking in they let me know the campground has an infestation of No-See-Ums. But they were the only place that had any availability for us to stay...

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Had to deal with the insects that got us out of our house originally. Ironic I know.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With her following the advice from her attorney she filed for divorce,  and put in place how to leave disabled spouse without financial obligation by having me be ward of the state having to survive on assistance.  Still i don't blame her nor could I be upset or mad with her.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>What she gave me is what I never thought possible. When i met her for the first time in my life I felt alive instead of just living,  and I felt real love,  aside from my dad and grandfather.  Nothing can take what gave me. Forever I will always love her and do anything to protect her.  That is set in stone.  It kills me that she felt how did when filling the ofp but again I understand.  Im just working to get it removed and truth out so she may trust me again. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now im almost broke as she moved finances from an account I had access to and paid off and closed a credit card I had access to, so I could live.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Im starting this to fund me because I need financial help.   And money to get divorce attorney retained.   I've been in contact with so many to help me. But it takes time to get this resources.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Cali and I need your help to stay alive.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please share my story, I hope it will help others,  the no-see-ums are real ive learned so much about them documented everything.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Learned zero-bite spray kills them and supposed to keep them away but they still attack me and cali im guessing because of my TBI. Vinegar and vinegar water mix sprayed makes them appear drnkk so they be removed with less pain, when sprayed with permethryn mix and zero bite it increases the pain as they attack when dying.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Just because you can't see them doesn't make em not real.  And the pain they give some people is unbearable yet others don't even notice nor even get bit.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I can't explain why some and not others.  Im just grateful they don't attack her. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please listen to people that are having problems that you might not understand instead of saying you know.  Especially someone with TBI it destroys us not being hard and only being told to check in to psych hospital. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Please help us. Im not one who ever asks  for help, im the one who no matter what is always willing to help others. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Love is all I want to give.  That's what really matters. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Love unconditionally 

</div>

<div>Sean Wright &amp; Cali
