What Happened to You? My Story of Overcoming Adversity

Well let's see, I was really into longboarding , had speed wobbles down a particular hill, fell off and hit my head

I hit a horse on the way hone from work. Don't remember a thing, I was told thay because of the way the road curved, there was no way I could have seen it in time to brake

I t-boned a semi truck drunk

Rear ended at a stoplight (stopped) by someone going 45+ mph. My whole family was in the car. We all had some kind of head injury but they took years to notice for some of us.

I got hit by a car while walking going like 40 I died twice and fell into a coma I spent almost 4 years in a nursing home recovering my right arm is paralyzed and I had knee surgery on my MCL so I walk slow

I was severely beaten by my abuser. I remember the first punch to my right eye because I followed to fight back but I was knocked unconscious and suffered a right parietal lobe injury from him bashing my head into the hardwood floor and also oxygen deprivation from him strangling me.

Got punched in the face several times during one week doing martial arts and then on the last day, Friday, got hit the hardest. I stayed in the rink and kept getting pummeled. My coach finally pulled me out. I immediately had neurological slowing (concussion). I could see my pupils dilating in the mirror. I had migraines and mood changes constantly for 3 months plus the neurological slowing. Since then I’ve had trouble with really bad migraines that can last up to a week. I’m on Aimovig (injection) now to help with them. I could’ve easily gotten second impact syndrome.

I was being carried during a stunt for a dance performance, the back of my head hit the floor. Idk exactly how it happened but I think I was thrown in the wrong direction. I don’t think it was my first concussion but it’s the worst one and ended my dance career.

I got hit head in by a drunk driver driving home from high school one Friday afternoon. Hit my head in the front and the back

I was shot in the head and am now left side paralyzed 2.5 years through recovery but never giving up hope

I got kicked in the face by a horse. Totally not as bad as you are thinking. Had a concussion and a broken nose. Didn’t even bruise. Still have symptoms 3 years later though.

I was in a motorcycle accident and have a TBI, partial part of my brain was removed and I’m paralyzed on the right side of my body because of a stroke

I fell down the stairs when I was 11 months old
