About Me

Alyx Millham
I'm a vegan with an Education Degree, a visual art major and a dance minor. I blog about my severe brain injury and my resulting veganism. My intention is to show that being vegan doesn't have to be hard. I mean, I have a severe brain injury, and I'm a vegan. If I can do it, I believe you can too. I do have memory problems, but luckily my mom kept notes on my recovery, I had a guest book in my hospital room, and I kept a journal once I was able. Lots of records. Thankfully. I'm divorced, and I have a new family with a wonderful man and we have a son. A lot of changes in a short amount of time.

My Brain Injury

The ex-husband, and I were in a vehicle collision on December 5, 2009. I was in a coma for 8 days. It was a closed head injury. To prevent my brain from swelling, and even further damage, I was chilled with ice and really cold water.
I had an acute small hemorrhage in my left temporal lobe & midbrain, a subarachnoid hemorrhage in my left parietal lobe, and a non-displaced skull fracture of my right frontal lobe and my occipital lobe. Basically, there was a lot of bleeding.
I had to relearn everything we take for granted such as, sitting up, balancing, tying my shoes, walking, talking, printing, and simple math.
Saw double till mid-April 2010, and I had to think about the physical mechanics of forming sounds to make words for a long time.
I do have memory problems, which is why I keep many notes and lists.
But! My memory is absolutely improving!!
Fatigue and anxiety are still my barriers.
I was told by one of my occupational therapists that I have a 'high-functioning brain injury'.
