About Me

I am 31 years old, currently residing in Denmark with my husband, desperately trying to navigate through a foreign medical system. I was in a car accident 12-19-07, rolled my car, was thrown again the driver's side door (which took it off its hinges), and sustained trauma to the left side of my body. Trying to heal, can walk but with a limp, and am struggling to make people understand the intensity of my daily routine, and how bad my body hurts. I find myself exhausted from having to defend how I feel, and have even taken to keeping pictures of what the car looked like in my purse to show to medical professionals. I've worked in healthcare for many years, but this is the first time I find myself where I am the patient. I've worked so hard to get where I am, but now feel like everyone thinks I should be 100% better by now; why do people doubt the legitamacy of my complaints? I've tried telling myself to "buck up", and to try and find more internal strength or resolve.....but things just seem to be getting darker. I hope to find a network of people who can identify with some of these thoughts, and maybe help through these next few months so I don't feel so alone.
