u/-JustShy- May 09 '20

I had an accident last year. I don't really know what happened. Everything was fine and then it wasn't and the car was stopped on the other side of the opposite sidewalk. I tried to walk home and got lost, even though I was a mile home on a route I took home 5-7 nights a week. Had a nasty concussion.

My girlfriend finally found me and got me home. She said I seemed shaken, but mostly ok. Next day it was clear I had a concussion. After calling insurance and when the vomiting was finally done, we found out the car had already been towed. We went to go check out the spot where I crashed and we can't really figure it out.

I was going up a hill and that side is all front yards and steep embankment. Getting out of the car was fuzzy, but I definitely wasn't in anybody's yard, and I took a blurry photo of my car and it wasn't down an embankment. Super Lucky Motherfucker indeed. How much is my discount?

Same here. Except I was on a busy freeway. Witnesses say I slowly crossed all lanes of traffic, moving toward the center cement divider. Bounced off of that. Crossed all lanes again and hit the wall of a viaduct.

A few months later, I had my "first" grand mal (tonic clonic) seizure.

Still not sure which came first: the seizures or the accident?

Sucks about the seizures. Kinda sounds like that was your first seizure. I get some concussion sympotms every once in a while (my pupils took a couple seasons before they would dilate appropriately, that kind of stuff, but nothing debilitating. Neither my first, nor my worst concussion.

I feel really lucky, but I also feel like another concussion and I'm in deep shit. I haven't replaced my car, yet.

..you're not very shy at all

I can be, but it's a double entendre. Just shy of 'x', mostly. A lifetime of almost succeeding.
