"i was in a marked crosswalk when a person ran the red light &amp; t-boned me, pushing me into on-coming traffic, right in front of 2 portland police cars.
i was knocked out for two days in icu.
when i woke up, i found that i could not use my left hand, and i was left handed.
i had other injuries too, but after being left handed for 60 yrs, and 32 of those years i was a computer designer.
after about a year of tests and 2 failed operations, none of the doctors could fix the nerve damage to my hand.
i had to retire from work. learning only the basic skills with my right hand, which was also damaged. i became very depressed. i am now up to 80mg a day, and it has helped me a lot.
i am also on 20mg of oxycodone every 4 hours for constant pain."
