Welcome to my blog. It varies how regular I write posts here. I sustained a 'Traumatic Acquired Brain Injury', and a six month coma from a 'road traffic accident' whilst cycling, in October 2006. I spent the following 4 years (22-26yrs old), in a combination of hospitals and rehabilitation homes. Now, I have been living independently in Surbiton, England since October 2010. This blog begun life in December 2010, as i realised that there are many people worldwide that i want to share experiences with. I know that, as a wheelchair user, I am obviously not as mobile as i wish, so, use the internet to connect to you. I enjoy letting my thoughts represent through type. I type honestly. As numerous readers, as well as email recipients, will understand, I find typing to be very therapeutic. Thank you :)

Gifts....

Although I had a little 'time off' after describing events leading up to my cycling accidents (i do have a very scary one that i will try to keep personal), I realised that i was allowed time-off as it's more realistic (although not quite the same as 6 months in a scary coma), so generous that i am, I provide youtube links to two very personal songs by 'all-time heroes'. I do not entitle them, to find out, you'll have to listen.

I remember telling my music therapist in the RHN at Putney how to play it, as i remembered the guitar chords. Admittedly it is only about 4 or 5 chords, but it had been played so much, it was ingrained into my brain, and survived a coma!

This, although an older song, has been more recent to affect me. Many of the artist's songs mean a great deal to me, this is often used by myself to shake some sense into me, and teach me how to think straight.
