MY HOSPITALIZATION

I was in the hospital for ten days of which I have a few sporadic memories.  I understand coworkers and fellow reservists came to visit and I have no recollection.  I stayed with my neighbor for a few days after I was discharged from the hospital and I don’t have memories of that either.  I was told I slept most of the day.  I understand that period of time to be considered post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) and PTA is a major factor in determining the severity of a brain injury.
