People tell a friend of mine he shouldn't be angry with what he hasn't gained back from his car accident; they that was he has achieved to date is miraculous. <BR/><BR/>Indeed, is a miracle he is walking, talking, aware of his surroundings, let alone having graudated from university and getting a good job. There will never be a "good enough" for him. He never wants to hit the ceiling and will keep fighting to what he can to gain back small things to improve his quality of life. <BR/><BR/>He continues to defy the expecations he's given. He had lots of trouble with fine motor skills/handwriting and the doctors told him he would never be able to write legibly, tie his shoes, button buttons, draw, etc. Five months after the accident he tied his shoes in front of his stunned neurologist. Seven years after the accident, although it's with difficulty, he has written many university essays longhand as a Communications Major.<BR/><BR/>Get angry, fight the beast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411659187928615565.post-90014408125312236842007-12-20T16:46:00.000-05:002007-12-20T16:46:00.000-05:00Dude, You amaze me constantly.
