Today marks 3 years since I smacked my head and my life changed forever. This slideshow represents the hardest time in my life. 3 years feels like a lifetime ago but the trauma of it still feels fresh. It’s nice to mark the anniversary and to remember, as a reference point to where I am now. Life definitely looks different than it would have, but there is not one day that I’m not grateful for my health and the chance to live fully. So much of that comes from the incredible people I’m lucky to have in my life, all around the world. Love you and could not do this without you ♥️ 1: my last day as a non brain injury human 2: a while after concussion I started going for small walks, this was sunset on one of those 3: I had crossed eyes and saw double after injury, this was my first hike back and it was not ideal 4: doctors told me to forest bathe, can recommend 5: this day I thought about what it would be like to die and not have to feel this way anymore, very low point 6: nature cannot be overestimated in its healing capabilities 7: mental breakdown in Frankfurt airport 8: sudden brain trauma can trigger MS, the doctors told me maybe it had. Spinal tap in Austria with CSF leak complications. Couldn’t stand up for a week. Lived with friends and asked them to wake me up at night to make sure I was alive. Not ideal 9: after 18 months finally took myself to brain rehab and dedicated everything to getting better, thank you to everyone who supported me in this 10: first run, huge moment
