...but don't think I'll ever really get any answers. I still have to try.
First, a little history so you even know what this is about. When I was 3 months old my dad threw me. Skull fracture, 3 days in a coma, blood transfusion, about a month in the hospital, anti-seizure meds for several months, etc....The only thing that I know for sure is a result of it is a big "blind spot" in peripheral vision on the right side. I suspect some coordination issues (especially on the right side) too, but don't really know.
There must be some other effects I don't know about. My mom mentioned when telling me all this that she noticed "other things" that I "compensated for." I didn't ask at the time she told me (about a year and a half ago) what she meant, and just can't ask her about any of it now. It took me 3 days to even be able to finish this thread. I need to know, but doubt I ever really will. Any similar experiences? Any guesses?
Here's the other problem. I've tried doing research before posting this, but...
-There's nothing that I've found out there about effects of this type of thing 18 years later.
-There's nothing that I've found out there about this type of thing happening at such a young age, AND effects of it 18 years later.
-The most depressing part....I just can't find much at all about this type of injury happening at that age, and the baby surviving. In ANY case I've found that's similar to mine, the baby dies. If it was bad enough that
any similar cases are fatal, there must be some other problems from it, right?...
I know I probably won't get any answers here....or anywhere. I have to at least try.
