I was shopping at the mall and I noticed some pair of pants in my favorite part of the store. As I'm walking towards it, a metal access door attached to the ceiling came and fell on my head. My boyfriend was with me and took this picture:
Only after, the store put up that stuff to block (I got a brain injury from it so I don't know certain words and it'll take a good amount of time to find the word, so moving on..)
It doesn't seem like much to fall on someone's head, but it was a 14 feet drop and even though I was unlucky enough that it hit me (only access door in the whole store) I've been told time and time again that I was lucky it didn't fall on its edge, or it would've been over. I don't think doctors are supposed to use the term 'miracle' but they do all the time with me. I was rushed to the hospital for fear of a brain bleed since I was just looking awful and had a black and blue bump the size of two tennis balls on my head. My boyfriend would put his hand on my head while we were waiting for the paramedics (idk why lol) and I couldn't even feel like he was touching it. Everything went completely numb. I'm still suffering from the effects 7 months later. 50:50 chance of full recovery at this point. Transitioning into a new life is the hardest thing I've ever done. Life was going so easy too lol
But at least I'm here right?
