    Sounds to me that "Your only about a third of the way, you got 140,000 more miles to go and plenty of time" Keep smiling, "Your ticket HAS NOT EXPIRED !" .....Bill

    Congratulations For most, the ryding component alone is impressive enough in its own right The fact that you've done it after a TBI, all that surgery, & WITHOUT any seizures makes it even more so!

    My own 'post TBI' life & progress was nowhere near so good at the 11 year mark, but it did get a little better from there on in. I blame my innately cantankerous nature & a rudely stubborn refusal to buckle under for me still being around giving everyone stick.... . TBI's, ain't they just the 'juuust barely better than a hole in the head' gift that keeps on giving!

    12 years ago, my son was diagnosed with brain cancer, six surgeries if I remember correctly. The second was almost a complete left frontal lobotomy, which left him with some deficits and now he’s severely under employed compared to his pre-cancer status. This experience has completely changed our lives and family dynamics, but the good news is that we still have him around and he still occasionally goes riding with us! So Bfromla, I feel like I can understand your struggles; congrats on 10 years post onset, and not letting it hold you down.
