"Your recovery is going to be painstaking, like the way ants are building the tunnels, one grain at a time. But you will get there, I just know it." In an Instant: A Family's Journey of Love and Healing, written by Lee and Bob Woodruff.
I think its possible that I have the best neurologist ever, I won't include his name because I don't have permission. I will say that every time I have an appointment I leave his office feeling more positive than I did when I walked in. Not long ago I had an appointment and at the end he grabbed my knee and said "don't worry, we'll get you back". I practically danced away from that appointment becuse I believed him, I believe that some day I will get back to just being me. Maybe I will be different but I still have dreams and I still have the love of my friends and my family and I still believe that if you really want something and you work hard enough you will acheive it.
This blog is about my on-going recovery from a traumatic brain injury, I chose to write about my experiences with the hope that my story will help someone else who may be facing something similar. My story is not meant to make you sad or scared, I will warn you that there are photos from my lengthy stay in the hospital and the photos are somewhat disturbing...my wish is that this story brings you hope!
We never lost you my sweet friend. We were very lucky to have you reopen your eyes and bless us again with your presence in our lives. It may take a grain at a time but you have an army helping you. We love you and are with you all the way.
