This year marks the 35th anniversary of my accident and as long as it’s been is how long I’ve been asked how it happened, well if you've ever wondered here's what happened. I didn't write this to see how many likes or comments I could get, I did it because I have found writing very therapeutic. This didn't take hours or even weeks to write, it took months because it involved having to think back to a time that I hadn't thought about in a long time.

First of all, thank you! Thank you for the magnificent website you have developed! I found some great information to help me with my fight against my own TBI. Resources just around the corner from where I lived that none of my doctors have referred me to are now at my fingertips. I continue to struggle and now am inspired to fight for others. I can't thank you enough for the work you have done.

In between my therapies, I wanted to keep moving forward so I reached out to find some ideas of ways to keep my brain working. They were so helpful and friendly and gave me many great ideas to try. We were even laughing together, and it made it feel like I was talking to a friend.
