Hi! Some 14 months ago, I fell down 12 feet of stairs in the dark one night. Very scary and very life-changing. I broke my hip, pelvis, sacrum, four ribs, had a TBI and damaged my 4th cranial nerve (in other words, had double and triple vision). A month in the hospital, many months of rehab and two surgeries. My eye surgery was the last one a month ago. I'm extremely fortunate to be in good shape now and am back working full-time but am struggling with memory issues at times and have profound sensitivity for those earlier on their journey. So while I look recovered now, I'm not always and have to keep my memory issues largely undercover given I have a professional job. Thank you for letting me participate.
