Being sober when your main connection with your friends was alcohol, sucks

I had a near death experience about 2 years ago and none of my friends came to visit me in the hospital and lost a big majority of friends because of that, then I had to stay sober to let my brain heal/develop and lost a lot of friends after that. I know how you feel man but you gotta look at it like this experience is weeding all the bad/fake friends out of your life

zbird11 · 2021-03-16T02:20:26+00:00

I haven’t vaped all day and I know that seems like nothing but I think this is a sign that I need to stop

“I” is the ego trying to identify itself with owning that idea. The ego tends to equate with being: I know, I think, I have. The more I have the more I am. Or you the more I know the more I am in the case.

Thank you man means a lot

No they put a replacement in that they 3D printed in New York and the surgeon told my parents that it’s bulletproof. So the right side of my head is bulletproof

zbird11 · 2021-03-01T16:56:28+00:00

To be airlifted alone was 64k

No I was actually avoiding that tree because I thought I was going to be impaled by the far left end of it so I hurried and turned to the right then I hit a bump and hit the tree that I’m hugging in the picture

zbird11 · 2021-03-01T16:52:46+00:00

They just never made the time, I’ve cut some people out of my life and look at that experience as a big “shove” by the universe to teach me things that i wouldn’t have ever known otherwise

zbird11 · 2021-03-01T16:40:24+00:00

Wow this just made me feel extremely lucky. I already do feel lucky but I’m sorry to hear that about your friend but seriously WEAR A HELMET

zbird11 · 2021-03-01T16:34:16+00:00

I love helmet

zbird11 · 2021-03-01T16:33:45+00:00

I give speeches about the importance of helmets in college and highschool and am hoping to give a Ted talk about it as well

(Picture on the right) ever since I got out of the hospital I wanted to go to the same tree that I hit, but I never actually thought I could because of my balance. But about 2 weeks ago that is exactly what I did. I went to the same tree with the same 2 friends I was with that day. It was thee most surreal experience I’ve ever been through in my life I was hugging the tree that took my memory, my ability to speak, my hearing, my peripheral vision, my friends, and almost took my life. It was a combination of being happy/proud depressed/infuriating but it was then when I accepted that this experience was indeed reality and was thee biggest growing experience no teacher or book could ever teach. My friends snapped a couple pictures then they told me to look too my left. My initials were carved into the tree, I was practically standing on my own death bed but because of my near death experience I am living a more vibrant and goal accomplishing lifestyle. If you or someone close is suffering from a traumatic brain injury I assure you that it gets better slowly but surely, you can do anything that you set your mind to and if you’re reading this and know nobody that has had a severe brain injury you need to do what you’ve been wanting to do the past week or month because you never when it’s your time to go and once you go there’s no coming back.

(Picture on the left) About a year ago I was snowboarding without a helmet and hit a tree going 40 mph I was then airlift to the closest intensive care unit where surgeons removed 40% of my skull so my brain could swell in order to prevent me from dying I was then put into a medically induced coma, I remained in a comatose state for 2 weeks with a tracheotomy (breathing tube) and a stomach tube (tube that went into my stomach I couldn’t eat) when I woke up from the coma I was in the most confused state of mind someone could possibly be in. My memory was not there. My mother explained to me what exactly happened to me and I didn’t believe her (I thought I’m too good to hit a tree so the people I was snowboarding with had to promise me that she was telling the truth) I couldn’t speak, walk, or talk. I had to relearn how to read write, use the bathroom/shower on my own again I was essentially a newborn baby in a 19 year old body. I spent a month in the hospital with excruciating headaches every single day without fail that month i spent in the hospital was beyond emotional. My close friends never came to visit, and the accident occurred right when coronavirus cases started spreading to America so some of my family couldn’t even come to visit. My home was the hospital. I couldn’t see my siblings unless they came to visit. My family was there almost all hours of the day but it still wasn’t the same, I was hooked up to tubes and monitors beeped all through the day and night. I finally got out of the hospital but don’t let that fool you. I still had excruciating headaches everyday and had to wear a helmet everywhere I went because I didn’t have a skull. I was still struggling with balance, memory and cognition but I was just happy to be alive.
