Default Great progress
Thank you for the update, and congratulations on your progress. I also "celebrate" my accident anniversary (now 2 years, 3 months +). Progress from traumatic events can be great opportunities to celebrate personal growth. I found the following book helpful in my recovery.

Very best to you on this journey.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.

Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.
