Moving Forward

This is the true story of when a sudden moment of impact took my life away. Though I am not "born again" in a religious sense, I have been given a second chance at this game called life. This is my story of hope, recovery and rebirth. On a brisk September afternoon, I was involved in a severe automobile accident when a car struck the motorcycle I was driving. Among my numerous physical injuries were seven broken ribs, a ruptured spleen, a bruised liver, a torn bowel, and a bilateral pneumothorax (two punctured lungs). The one that altered the course of my life forever though was the closed-head traumatic brain injury I received. Gratefully, I not only survived this intense injury but also have recovered remarkably well and am now thriving against all odds. It has become my goal to share this story of recovery in order to assist others in keeping the one thing that changed my life, the choice of always moving forward. Choosing to adapt to the change instead of simply reacting is avery powerful tool. Follow my lead. Let me show you how!
