My story is one of overcoming injury. I acquired my injuries at age 24, and the recovery will take me the rest of my life. It is probably easiest to divide my injury to Physical and Mental / Neurological. I exhibit both Arthritis and short-term Memory loss presently. I think that is a fair trade when my initial prognosis of 'Permanent Vegetable' is considered. I have all my own hair, eyes and teeth. If anyone is interested I have a record of my recovery, that I typed for my own piece of mind. All I ask should anyone wish to read it is to tread carefully, it is my most vulnerable underbelly.
