Ive been in 3 bad wrecks. Once head on by a drunk at around 45 mph. Pre-airbag.
Once a multiple rollover in icy weather at almost highway speeds. The last one someone hit the very rear of my truck sending it sideways and causing it to roll a few times.
Only on the 2nd was I knocked unconscious and this was in the early 80s before we understood concussions.
But looking back is was concussed in all three! Just because you walked away does not mean you dont have injury to the brain. You should really have a brain scan done. And if you start feeling confused in the next day or so, go to a neurologist!
Cant speak about PTSD. Still not scared to drive but unless on the open road I drive like a grandma! Driving is dangerous. I accept the fact.
Ironically, in all three wrecks the other drivers got a citation. Small consultation.
Pay really close attention to your mental state the next day or so. If at all confused to to the doctor immediately!
So sorry this happened to you. It truly sucks.
Seat belts have saved my life 3 times. Thank god for government regulations!
