tyvm for posting this. My brother suffered a brain injury 13 years ago. I thought he was being “delusional” in his effort’s of recover. I am more hopeful after watching this, as the physicians did tell us “maximum recovery” after one year!

My accident was in 2000, came off the back of a Harley going 120kms on the main road, hit diesel, lost control, the guy braked and the bike flipped, landed on my head, smashed the helmet in half…next thing I couldn’t remember how to get a drink of water….became very volatile, was dazed and confused for years…just had to be reminded and reminded how the process of things went… still recovering I think… this doco is good to see…
