I have type 2 diabetes that resulted in a foot amputation several years back. Last year, I had a nearly fatal auto accident that leaves me in pain. From the wreck I had numerous fractures in my neck, back, ribs, hand. There is also a very large scar on the leg opposite the amputation. My right lung collapsed. I think the worst injury is the lingering effects from the concussion I suffered. I was in a coma for over 2 weeks in the trauma center, and now I get dizzy very easily.

Somehow, I don't think my bipolar and other MI got any worse. They were already so bad. If anything, it emphasized the importance of taking things one day at a time. I think all of these things are one reason I seem content to stay home except for various Dr. visits.
