Once an injury has happened to us, we have a different perspective. We no longer have a sense of security about anything.

An injury is not a chronic disease, it is a chronic condition. A disease has the ability to cause deterioration, but an injury doesn't. But we still wake up each morning with it.

You don't have a neurological disease, but you have had a brain injury. It's an injury that haunts and confronts most of your insecurities on a daily basis.

This is the destructive part and this is the decline, because it is your centre of attention, all the time, and at some point you don't want to think about it any more.

Right now, you are okay. You are not concussed, you are not injured, you are not sick. You can enjoy your son, you can make him laugh, play with him in the sun and make new memories for both of you.

Teach him to wear helmets, play safely, protect his head. Teach him this importance, and you will be teaching him something you both would otherwise have been ignorant of had your injury never happened.
