I journalled a lot and my mom has detailed notes about a lot of things so I read through that periodically...especially if there's something I'm trying to figure out or remember. I have a hard time remembering anything before the accident unless I can read about it or see photos. Sometimes that helps, sometimes I still don't remember at all. It can get frustrating sometimes!Helen @ Blue Eyed Beauty Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03712980183077299482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446647255774447793.post-1856965264768521772014-03-05T09:51:06.520-06:002014-03-05T09:51:06.520-06:00Hi Summer!

A lot of it had to do with being dizzy and blacking out and then part of it was due to memory problems as in I was unable to remember how to get to places I've been to hundreds of times. When I did finally try to drive I ended up blacking out on a two lane highway and almost ended up in a head-on collision. Needless to say it was a LONG time before I tried driving again. My husband is really the reason I drive any at all now. He helped me over come a lot of the fears I had about driving again. I don't drive often, but I can if I need to. Most of the time hubby drives or I wait until he can go with me. I do enjoy having the freedom to drive myself to the store or to visit a friend, which is something I didn't have for about two years after the wreck. I don't like driving long distances or being in busy cities, but we live out in the country and in a small town so driving for me isn't too bad most of the time. It still scares me and sometimes I still have bad reactions to how other drivers are driving even if they're being perfectly safe. I think the thing that helped the most is having a calm person help me get back in the drivers seat. Hubby was that person for me and still is.Helen @ Blue Eyed Beauty Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03712980183077299482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446647255774447793.post-85198110136868468372014-03-04T12:46:38.970-06:002014-03-04T12:46:38.970-06:00Wow!

But I also am unable to drive. I was wondering if you have tried and if so, what has helped you? I have never met another person that has this fear and its very lonely.Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522864262156030039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446647255774447793.post-65931784201928757802013-01-25T09:40:33.390-06:002013-01-25T09:40:33.390-06:00I’m amazed that you still remember the details of ...I’m amazed that you still remember the details of your car accident!

I too am very grateful to still be here! Yes, over all I'm doing a lot better. I still battle with depression due to chemical imbalance, the brain injury, back injury, fibromyalgia and more...but over all I can function at a level that wasn't possible after the wreck for over a year!<br /><br />I tried to see if you had a blog, but your user name above just sent me straight to your Goolge+ page. If you do have a blog I'd love to stop by some time and take a look around!<br /><br />HelenHelen @ Blue Eyed Beauty Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03712980183077299482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446647255774447793.post-42873650502137701752013-01-10T20:16:04.868-06:002013-01-10T20:16:04.868-06:00Oh no Helen, reading this whole page made me cring...Oh no Helen, reading this whole page made me cringe in fear. I could hear those brakes skid and the loud crash that happened vividly. I hope you're better right now on your 3rd year and I definitely thank God for you that you're still here today. I think it's a gem that I've found someone like you, and that we'd learn to appreciate life more, and you've just shown me that. It is so fragile, so unpredictable. But I'm glad you're okay :) <br /><br />Love,<br />Jo!
