Husband fell off golf cart, had brain injury, looking for hope
My husband is 40 years old and fell off a golf cart and sustained frontal lobes and temporal lobe contusions leading to a craniotomy 70 days ago. He was sedated and paralyzed medically for 14 days. Since he woke up he is walking, talking, doing all his care and is home. This has been such a roller coaster. He does not have understanding of his injury and on his bad days will feel like the doctors and therapists don't want him to get his license or go to work again. He has good days. We had 6 in a row. On those days I see so much of him. He still has cognition issues that he does not see. I keep telling myself we are early in this journey and things can get better, but can it? I need some hope. I see some scary stories out there. It is hard not to let my thoughts go dark. Today has been a rough day. I am so tired of crying.

I fell from my moms attic a year and half ago. I'm dizzy but no one seems to know why. I lost my dog to cancer about six mo ago and that is when dizziness started. I was on a lot of meds from an aging Dr. I would like to think it's meds but three drs think it's from the fall
@pamorr12 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. So sorry to hear about your fall. Falling from an attic sounds frightening.
My sympathies, also, for the loss of your dog.
Did you fall down a ladder to the attic? Did you settle on a doctor to treat you for the dizziness? If so, with what medication or therapy are you being treated?
@lisalucier no doctor yet. Been to a lot none diagnosed. No meds no ladder fell through ceiling. I though they floored No
