Glad you now have a good team on board.

I was lucky in one respect, my accident occured about a mile from a hospital that is one of the top 10 neurological hospitals in the country (Barrow's neurological institute at St. Joseph's in Phoenix). I was in good hands from the start. Best to you as you continue to recover.

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.
