Brian Hickey has a long recovery period. I am so glad that he is recovering as fast as he is and yet? He has a long journey.

I believe people have the power within them to either live or die in a situation such as Brian's.  Many people in that situation might have thrown in the towel and let the chips fall where they may.  That is their choice.  He found a motivation to continue and take back what was his.  Outstanding, and a living metaphor for what so many are going through day by day.  God bless him.

I hope everything works out well for him.I also had brain surgury years ago,and I'm better now at least I'm still alive. So that's very good.

I am encouraged by his recovery.  I am also interested in how long his rehab took and how aggressive it was.  I have a friend that was hit by a drunk driver who was caught but only got one year in jail. My friend had a stroke  and is blind in one eye.  It has been only one year and he is still in a wheelchair

 

The good Lord Jesus is the giver of life and for some unknown reason to Brian or anyone else God has chosen to leave him with his family and friends awhile longer. God make no mistakes, there is a reason this man is still alive and has recovered so well so far, I would seek the Lords direction in finding out why I was left here if I were Brian.

 

I believe it can happen.......

Fascinating to read what is going on inside the mind of the injured person. A very inspiring story, indeed. I work at a Rehab hospital and see many cases just like his, and have seen the violence, too, and it is sometimes hard to understand and deal with for the medical personnel. It is therapy that works the miracle, does the finishing touches, so that the injured patient can regain his life. Not in all cases, but in many. Thank you for writing it, for recording what was going on inside your mind, your thoughts, during the time you were unable to communicate!
