I am thankful that I am starting to feel better after 2 years and 4 months. It’s been an incredibly frustrating and long road. Recovering from brain injury is hands down the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life.

I’m definitely feeling better physically, but still deal with cognitive challenges on a daily basis. I have no idea if these will improve, or if they are permanent.

I hope that through my advocacy efforts, I am able to 1. Help other survivors know they’re not alone or crazy 2. Help educate the public in case they or a loved one ever are faced with it 3. Bring more awareness to medical professionals who don’t fully understand the scope of what we deal with.
