I was told it's normal, but I can not remember even driving to where I was going when the car went off the road...or why. Husband told me Idid talk to him on the phone and say, "I'm so sorry about the truck." I have no memory. He answered that he didn't care about the truck, just me and asaked how I was but someone got on the phone to tell him I was being rushed to surgery. I spent two weeks in trauma's ICU, then two weks in a regular room. I barely remember any of it. I was on strong drugs. Maybe that was it. I do not have brain damage...I was tested for that, along with everything else.
Did anyone else experience a trauma and not remember it? In a way, I don't want to know or remember. At first, I never wanted to remember. But I'm recovering now and I am puzzled that there is no memory at all. I guess I was lucid and talking, although not being very logical. In ICU I asked Jumper to take my picture. And she said, "Are you serious?" I said yes so she did (I have not had the guts to look at the picture yet). I don't remember. I also told my husband I thought he had a girlfriend...lol. And I told Jumper she had confessed she smoked pot, which she doesn't. But then I am medication sensitive and was taking morphine.
It's strange to hear about what I d id without any memory. The truck was totaled, the roof bashed in yet I remember nothing of rolling in the ditch...weird what t he mind does to protect us.
