Retraining my body

Retraining my body

On a Saturday evening of March 5th of 2017, a drunk driver rear ended colliding with my parked car and I was diagnosed to have a Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) which the doctors believed had very low chances for survival. My family was encouraged to let me die but due to excessive love for me, they refused! I spent the next few weeks in a COMA. After coming out of COMA, I spent a few months in an acute care then acute care rehab and in-patient rehab and at last graduating to an outpatient rehab. Through this journey of over the last 22 months, I have been retraining my body to use its right side, to walk and to swallow, additionally improving my memory and cognitive skills.
