@vassiliki I understand what you are saying. All brain injuries can cause psychological issues as well as long term changes affecting physical health. I am glad you have dogs. What I went through was a life changing event that in hindsight had to happen. I wore myself out . I had never learned to say no. I had a lot of medical care and trauma recovery including domestic violence treatment. Chronic sinusitis resulted in the bacterial meningitis of my brain. I had sinus surgery right after the neurosurgeon finished the craniotomy. I have used a sinus rinse with a small amount of white vinegar for over 11 years. 5 years of allergy shots. My allergist- immunologist found 13 arms of my immune system were down. Over time as my health improved many medicines were deprescribed under medical supervision. I have some chronic pain now. Not bad. I have cataracts live in NM and am having issues related to that so next month I will see an ophthalmologist about this. During the hospitalization I went into cardiac arrest. I had trauma issues related to that for awhile that I had to process and some spiritual issues related to survivors guilt. I remarried in 2020 left my life long home state and moved to NM. I am in 2 brain injury support groups that have regular zoom meetings. These people are safe and we discuss all kinds of issues related to navigating life with a brain injury.
