Hi there, my name is Gayle. I was injured in an automobile accident back in 1993, I was hit head-on by a drunk driver. Since then I have tried my best to help other head injured people, which is what I'm trying to do here, by spreading information about head injuries, listening to people about their head injury problems, and hopefully helping them find solutions. I know how hard being head injured can be on a person, working through the migraines, sleep disorder, emotional roller coasters, memory problems (mainly short term) well these are some of my new problems, not everyones will be the same. It sure is interesting now trying to raise a family, sometimes they just don't understand. One of the first and most important things for a head injured person to do is to say goodbye to the "Old Me" and learn to except the "New Me!".. something I still haven't quite done yet myself... it is a very hard thing to do, especially when you are not too fond of the new you.. The poem written right beside this I found really does describe me and how I feel, I'm sure some of you will see bits or pieces that might fit you too.. there are a lot of us out there.. you are not alone. If anyone out there has a question about dealing with a head injury or someone with a head injury please feel free to e-mail me, I will get back to you as soon as I can, and I hope I can offer you some different strategies to help you cope with living with a head injury.. to read more of what I went through click on my picture.
Well having someone to talk with is always helpful too. |

Where Am I
(November 9, 1999)
I look into the mirror,
A stranger stares back at me.
I know that I don't know her,
But I'm told that she is me.
It scares me when I see her,
Her face is so unknown.
To think that she could be me,
Chills me to the bone.
Friends I have known fade away,
Just like my "use to be".
Inside me so full of confusion,
"Where is the real me?"
My life is such a mystery,
Once known, now gone for good.
How can I just be me,
I don't know me like I should.
These kids I'm told came from me,
But their births I can't recall.
How can I love children,
I really don't know at all.
This man that is with me,
Mine, he just can't be.
He is not my type at all,
And his touch feels so cold to me.
God why has this happened?
Why has this been done to me?
Why did I ever deserve to have,
Me taken away from me.
Many nights I spend crying,
Mourning over the old me.
God is there anyone out there,
That can come and please fix me!

A lot of head injured people have obsessions.. I'm sure it won't take you long to find out mine. I know it doesn't take a head injury to become obsessed about him though... he is HOT!!!! |
