@beitel, Hi Becky, Yes, I am still here on this group. I do pop in from time to time, but mostly participate in the transplant group. I read your previous post and I want to assure you that you are not alone. If you read thru this discussion forum, you will see evidence of that.
The symptoms that you have described in your 1st post about the accident, memory, ICU, bad dreams, confusion are more common than even previously identified by even the medical community. So it is not surprising that your friends and family are also unaware. I want to share some information that I think will provide you with information about Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS). I want to suggest that you share this with your family and friends, and even your counselor.

Becky, what is the state of your physical healing as a result of your 4 wheeler accident?

As far as the 4-wheeler accident I seem to be OK. My wrist has heeled and feels good. It is my memory and other psychological and emotional issues. I am currently on a transplant list and like I stated I am on Dialysis 3 days a week. I started back to work part-time which has helped me emotionally .
