Vicki’s Story

I was 21 when I jumped in front of a train and had major head injuries. It left me with paralyses for a few months and a long road of recovery.

I am a 48 year woman who worked for Nebank for 27 years then this traumatic events started . We were moving office from one floor to another and I fell up the stairs with boxes in my arms and bumped my head that time my colleague laughed and said they never heard of a person falling up the stairs but only down the stairs The doctor that time said my tumours is inherit from 3 generations passed and is stress related and he suggested that we move out of the residential area. Which we did. But neverless I lost everything my husband my beautifull plot my children my friends all my personal en sentimental belongings due to my personality changes and nobody understood me not even me do now. I had 4 brain operations due to genetic gene’s, over a period of 15 years. The first in 2001 half of my hair was shaved off to open my scalp to remove the tumor, the second at the back of my left ear that leave me partial deaf the 3 rd in 2011 on my frontal right lobe eye what started with losing my eye sight the last in 2015 in my right frontal lobe.. which created a personality change which canot accept nor can my family.Which i am losing my eye sight I think the last one was the most difficult one due to my age and it created a personality change which is difficult to accept by myself and family and I am scared for people that I did not know before the operation. I have no words to explain my condition, I cry every day and is tired and sleep most of the time. I am unbalanced and dizzy if I stand to long I cannot even go shopping. I went through a divorce and into a relationship which made every thing worse as I did not understand why are everybody treating me like a baby. It felt that all know something but dont want me to know.
