I am a Brain Injury survivor from a car accident; one beautiful April morning in 1986. I had recently moved into my first home away from my parents, and I was on track to create myself as a business professional. A bale of hay fell off a truck in front of me on the freeway, and onto my windshield causing my car to roll off the road, I crashed into cement construction materials. My car was beyond repair, a state Police Officer pulled me out with the Jaws of life. I was registered dead twice in the ambulance and admitted to the hospital in a coma. I spent seven days in a coma after approximately six years of extensive therapy and self improvement I felt was mentally ready to enter the world of the non-head injured again.
This blog relates to the reality of how the healthy respond to the unhealthy.

This piece is a compilation of truth and fiction: I would never speed. Driving is one of the few pleasures I can still enjoy. My head injury has robbed me of many things, but I refuse to yield to it. There are times when I can fight past the injury, but it is a constant battle and one I have yet to win.

Just some rantings while dealing with a blue day.

An auto accident takes away the person I was and gives me a second chance at life.

My brain mis-fires even in the best of times. Luckily, I have learned to adjust and realize the feeling is fleeting.

A desperate wife tries to hold her family together after a brain injury disables her husband. Her husband who once was strong and able is now in need of her like a child would need their mother. She must find ways of coping with her child-like husband and her young daughter who still needs her mother.
