Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery

Hi my name is Tre, I suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) June 13, 2014 in Richmond Virginia. The police have still have not solved the case and basically it's gone cold with no one knowing anything about what happened to me. Someone luckily found me in the street laying in my own blood at 4am as he was moving his car. I was rushed to MCV as my brain was hemorrhaging on the right side and I was seizing. I almost didn't make it and when I got to the hospital it got worse. I was taken in and they had to perform emergency surgery (craniotomy) to remove the pressure from my brain and the right side of my skull. After this I stayed in a coma for about a month or so and woke up. I was still under a lot of medical treatment (medicine/trachea tube/feeding tube) and the pain was unbearable still under the care. The doctors were telling my support system of friends and family that were there that many things may be different. They were saying my personality might be different, that they didn't know how I would recover, if I could walk, I may be aggressive and my mind may never be the same. Well as time goes by I couldn't walk so I had to have a wheelchair(very depressing time). I was determined to get back to being myself again so I kept trying to walk and finally stepped up to a walker. I had multiple therapies (physical/mental/occupational/speech) and showed improvement as time went on. August comes around and I think I'm getting ready to soon go home but on the 1st I'm discharged from the hospital to a rehabilitation/nursing home in Richmond. I was really going through it and though I wasn't as bad off I still struggled. I could now walk but my therapy was now finished since my insurance wasn't covering it anymore. I now had other issues, my head would constantly hurt(migraines), my bowels were messed up big time, my gate was off ( I had a major limp) and I still had to have surgery to put my skull piece back in. I was now focused on staying in Richmond and finishing my degree at VCU. I stayed in the bed a lot but I was trying to strengthen my mind by reading and keeping up with current events. I stayed in the nursing home until October 31st and found a landlord through my sister in law to rent me a room. I was starting school again in January and I was hoping I would be ready. I started school and still struggled from migraines, bowels being messed up and my gate being off. These symptoms continued but I'm about to graduate despite everything that has happened. Just my luck a week before graduation I get an infection in my brain and I'm back in the hospital getting another emergency surgery to remove the right side of my skull that has gotten infected. I have to take these intravenous antibiotics 5 times a day now which was permanently in my arm(pick line). The day before graduation ceremony I'm released because I kept stressing how bad I wanted to graduate. I got to graduate but my head was killing me and I had the pick line under my gown(it was overwhelming). I had to stay on the antibiotics for 6 weeks-3 months, luckily I was finished with them June 23rd. I have surgery now on October 5 for hopefully the last time to receive a synthetic skull piece because mine was so deteriorated. This campaign means a lot to me because I've been through more than enough in the past year and I really want to live my life, start my career and just enjoy the things that life has to offer. I'm in a bind right now with my bills and I was just dropped from my Medicaid so any amount will help for this campaign.
