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!

A day out with Kate and the kids
I was able to spend the day with Kate, Joel and Alexa yesterday. We went to Balboa park and spent the day at the Ruben H. Fleet science museum, saw a super cool dolphin movie and went to an early dinner at Pizzeria Uno...so fun! I had a very interesting conversation with Alexa about my recovery process - I explained to her that for awhile it seemed like I could see that I was getting better at a pretty fast rate but the doctors warned me that it would slow down, and it definitely has. Now its hard for me to see any improvements so I was telling her that I like to see my therapists because hey can point out specific things that have improved. She said "Auntie Nikki, I know that you are still getting better because I see a big difference from when you first came home, and not matter what I love you!" Can I just tell you how much it means to hear those words from my favorite soon-to-be third grade girl? Kids are honest and they are going to tell you what they really think, whether you want to hear it or not...
