RE: Brain changes can hurt
I doff my hat to you, sir! Impressive, no qustion about it! I just suffered a traffic accident in 1990 that turned me into a cripple - the doctor said that 'You'll never drive a bus again', but I've now been doing it for close to 15 years. So while the road towards the old life is long and cumbersome, it also gives you a lot of new insights and experiences.
I actually think my traumatic experience was good for me, even if I never again can go trekking. It made me a humbler, wiser person, quite different from the bitter me from before the accident, that kept me away from my job for eight years.
I think a traumatic experience in life is good for you, too many, and you become no wiser! I would love to have two normal legs, but I can live well with what I've got!
