Better than ever.
 
I truly believe that we can all get back what we lost with our injuries and gain even more than we had before the injury. With confidence and commitment, we can achieve anything...no matter how severe you were injured.

I'm confident that the person I'm becoming is better than the person I was before I got hit in the head.

So, stay positive and keep working at becoming the person you want to be.

God bless,

Nick

Great News Nick! :D

Also, from a psychological point in terms of being a survivor of trauma - I've read that it's advised to refer to injuries and traumas as "the" injury instead of "my" because if a person takes ownership (by using the word "my") it may be more difficult to let go of the experience in terms of how long one may be traumatized by it. :hug:

Nick, just in the month or so I've joined this forum it's been so encouraging to see your progress over these past couple weeks. You may enjoy reading the book: What Doesn't Kill Us: The New Psychology of Posttraumatic Growth.

I still find myself dividing my life into “before” and “after”. I’ve learned that I can’t go back to “before”, so my job is to keep making improvements in the “after”.
