If my story was to teach you anything, it is to not give up, and carry on with your life.
I took ‘years out’ to recover but I then carried on where I ‘left off’, so to speak. Why should brain injury stop you achieving your dreams?
In May 2019, I finished my second year of university, where I am studying Psychology.
With regard to my brain injury, I am still seeing a physiotherapist for my arm and leg weakness but not as regularly due to my university commitments!
In September 2017, I underwent a procedure to help my speech; it was to help my soft palate paralysis in my mouth. Before, it didn’t move to block the air coming out of my nose but now it is a lot better so my speech has improved ie. it is louder and clearer. Again, it’s still not perfect and I do still struggle with it but it’s the best I can get.
