Hi Kim,
 I agree whole heartedly that a person will never be
the same again! I was TBI in 1985 and didn'y even know
there was such a thing as TBI. I was definately not the
same and even though I learned to cope through the
years, now that I am getting older, the symptoms are
getting progressivly worse. My daughter Tracy was just
injured in March 1998 and I can assure you she is not
at all the same person she was the day before her
accident. Determination may play a big part in getting
well but I feel that no amount of determination can
heal that brain injury and that is what causes so much
frustration. The brain is so complex that no 2 people
who have an injury, even if the injury happened the
same way and injured the same part of the brain, will
have the exact same outcome. I know many many
determined tbi survivors who are still suffering
tremendously.
You have been blessed with a good recovery and I hope
yours will continue.
God Bless,
Pam, mother of Tracy
