Yesterday I had the opportunity to speak at a “Miracle Tour” event at St. Joseph’s hospital in Phoenix, where I was admitted after my accident/TBI.

It was a great experience, and very emotional in several respects. I got to meet and speak with Dr. Petersen, the trauma surgeon who put the medical team together that saved my life; he had “met” me of course, but since I have no memory of the accident (or about 5 weeks after) it was like meeting him for the first time. After the presentation part of the event we received a tour of the trauma bay, and also got to visit the heliport on the roof of the hospital.

After the tour my wife and I paid a visit to the neuro-rehab center where I spent about 4 weeks, and we got to visit with two of the therapists that worked with me; they both remembered us after two years which made me feel good. Just an awesome experience, to reconnect with some of the incredably talented health care professionals that guided me through my TBI recovery.

God bless you all and the work that you do.
