Thanks to my old neighbour for letting me know about Jeremy Vines radio show on Friday...
...James Cracknell and his wife were talking about his recovery from brain injury. I agree massively with much of what he said especially regarding prognosis being worse case...
I think from that point it's up to each of us affected to choose our approach to our own recovery based on what we have and what we want from life.
I don't know much about Cracknell but I always remember him saying he wouldn't be defined in life by his Olympic achievements and then similarly not by his brain injury. Inspiring as there is so much more to us all than just what's happened...
Also spare a thought for our friends and family who I think go through more than is generally. While we are getting care and attention, they fight for information, worry and then have to get to know us again....
