HEAD INJURY FROM MY ADULT YEARS AND BACK TO CHILDHOOD.

I WAS HEAD INJURED A THIRD TIME IN MAY 1970, AT AGE TWENTY-FOUR, AFTER I RECOVERED FOR A SHORT TIME, BY EARLY 1969, FROM MY SECOND HEAD INJURY IN 1967 AT AGE TWENTY-ONE. 

BY 1974 I COULD WORK TWO DAYS PER WEEK FOR FOUR OR FIVE HOURS AT MY OWN BUSINESS IN VANCOUVER BC. BY OCTOBER 1977 I MORE FULLY RECOVERED AND I WORKED FULL TIME, SEASONALLY AND INTERMITTENTLY AT MY OWN BUSINESS, ADVANCED METHOD JEWELRY MANUFACTURING. I HAD TO SELL IT TO BUY AN UNFINISHED HOME ON AUGUST 29 1979 WHICH I FINISHED.

 

I BECAME DISABLED AGAIN IN NINETEEN EIGHTY SIX WHILE I WAS MARRIED AND JUST AFTER I HAD WORKED AT MY EX-WIFE'S "MAJOR BUSINESS" FROM MAY 1984 TO SEPTEMBER 1986 THAT "SHE WAS THE OPERATOR OF" SIX DAYS A WEEK FOR NO PAY.

A CAR TURNING LEFT STRUCK MY CAR GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND THAT PROPELLED MY CAR INTO A STEEL TELEPHONE POLE LIKE THIS. THIS IS A SIMILAR CAR CRASH INTO A WOODEN POLE BY A SIMILAR CAR TO THE ONE I WAS DRIVING, A RESTORED 1970 F 85.

I HAVE RESEARCHED THE SYMPTOMS I EXPERIENCED AFTER MY NINETEEN EIGHTY SIX CAR CRASH AND I HAVE NOT FOUND A COMPREHENSIVE DIAGNOSIS. 

I HAD TO SLEEP EVERY FOUR HOURS FOR ABOUT FORTY MINUTES TO REMAIN ACTIVE. I COULD STAY UP LONGER IF I WAS JUST SITTING THERE NOT MOVING.

IN ADDITION I HAD DIFFICULTY WALKING OR STANDING UNSUPPORTED WITHOUT LEANING ON FURNITURE OR A FENCE OR HOLDING ON TO A RAILING.

I HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM I WAS NOT AWARE OF AS LOSS OF IDENTITY AND A LOSS OF ABILITY TO KNOW WHO WAS WHOM IN MY ANECDOTAL MEMORY PREVENTED ME FROM DISCERNING MY LOSS OF MEMORY. I REMEMBER THE DARK WET STREET IN VANCOUVER WHERE MY CAR WAS PROPELLED INTO A STEEL TELEPHONE POLE IN 1986, AND THEN REALLY NOT MUCH ELSE UNTIL THE 3RD  OF JANUARY 1990. AMNESIA CAUSED BY HEAD INJURY AND ALSO  MY EXHAUSTED AND HUMILIATED STATE THAT WAS CAUSED BY BEING UNPAID FOR OVER THREE YEARS WORK AND THEN FORCED TO PAY BACK MONEY MY MOTHER SUPPLIED TO MY WIFE TO START HER BUSINESS WHICH WAS STOLEN FROM MY TRUST FUND FROM MY PATERNAL GRANDFATHER IN 1964 TO START WITH. 

HEAD INJURY FROM MY TIME AS A TODDLER TO MY BECOMING AN ADULT AT TWENTY ONE

THE ORIGINS OF MY DISABILITY ARE PROBABLY FROM MY BEING STRUCK IN THE HEAD AND PULLED OFF MY FEET BY MY HAIR AND THROWN DOWN BY MY MOTHER UNTIL I WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD.

Postscript: I saw a report which indicated that a neurological syndrome caused symptoms similar to the ones I experience. It could have been caused by the injuries and suppression and domination which I experienced as a child.   AT AGE SEVENTEEN I WAS STRUCK ON MY HARDHAT BY A HAMMER DROPPED OFF A BRIDGE WHICH CAUSED FATIGUE AND MADE ME SUSCEPTIBLE TO GOING INTO A CONVULSION. I NEVER RECOVERED BUT I ADAPTED AND I MANAGED TO KEEP ON WORKING AND GOING TO UNIVERSITY.

.

I WAS DRIVING A TINY MOTORCYCLE IN 1967. A LEFT TURNING CAR CRASHED INTO ME THROWING ME OFF MY MY BIKE ONTO MY HELMETED HEAD BUT I STILL ENDED UP VIRTUALLY PARALYZED FOR MANY MONTHS. I DID NOT GET MY OUT OF WORK INSURANCE FOR THE FIRST OF TWO TIMES I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT. I HAD A HEAD INJURY AGAIN.

I RECOVERED ENOUGH TO GO BACK TO WORK AGAIN IN 1969.
