A couple weeks ago Lynne and I spoke at a head injury support group associated with the Traumatic Brian Injury Foundation of Utah. We were able to talk with other victims of brain injuries as well as their famliy members. We shared our experience and how we deal with life after my accident.
There were people there trying to cope with life changing experiences and my main focus to them was to never give up! I would say to them things such as, "I used to be right handed, now I am left handed" because my right side was affected from my brain injury.
I feel we gave some inspiration to those who felt anger or depression in helping them focus on what they have instead of what they lost. Lynne and I have been invited to speak at their fall conference in September and are thrilled!
