Being a survivor of what is often a life or death experience can lead to a clarity of what is really important in life. The mind is a powerful thing, and once one comes to terms with reality the knowledge of our alternative, (not surviving), allows us to find some type of niche where we can be at peace. For me it is the technology of computers that grants me an outlet for creativity that I didn't know I had before my accident. Compared to my first two years of spending 3 long terms in the hospital, these days of freedom are a blessing. Every day has minor frustrations, and as long as they are not life threatning we can choose to not dwell on that part. Some weeks are better than others, and there may only be a hug or a smile that makes a big difference. The thought that one day they may put humpty dumpty back together again is a motivator to keep on going. The day you give up just might be a week before it happens. So for me... it's often the little smile or hug which brightens my day.
