Marilyn's Story
Life
In 1992 I met the man who would change my life in ways I couldn't fathom. We were returning from his cottage on Sept 27, 1992 when he pulled out to pass another vehicle, in his 79 Corvette. The car oversteered to the left. We hit the gravel, spun around 180 degrees, shot across the road and cut off 6 or 7 wood posts to keep you from going over into a valley and the wire holding them together tore off the roof and hung me. They took us to Uxbridge hospital and transferred me to Sunnybrook Trauma Centre.
They could not sedate me because I had closed head injuries, a vein in the left frontal lobe burst, so they had to drill into my head in four spots to attach a halo vest without any sedative. After that I went into a coma for about a day and ...Expand for more
then I was diagnosed with a burst vein in the left frontal lobe, hangman's fracture of the second vertebrae. I also had lacerations of the left mandible and burns to my neck and wrist. Most of my stay in the hospital is a blur as my memory was not functioning at that point very well. My short term memory was gone but I've worked very hard to restore it, there are still holes in my long term.
I regressed back to about the age of 8 and when I was released from hospital I was placed into my parents care. My Mom would have to bathe me, dress me and feed me for almost 3 months and leave me in the care of my Father while she went to work. My Husky Gemini was with me right up till June 20/00 when it was her time. She was a joy and a terror everyday.
