Thank you, ladies, for being here today.
I really appreciate your telling your story because it must be pretty scary in so many ways to be in front of us, not knowing what you'll experience.
I will quickly tell you that I was a victim of a hit and run by a drunk driver and was left in a coma. I had a fairly significant head injury and issues that related to concussion. Often I found that it's easier to talk to someone who knows because concussions are invisible; people don't see that. People you think are your friends ask why you're so depressed, why you're looking so down, and that has a big impact on how you work.
I'm wondering if you experienced a lot of that from your friends as you recovered. The recovery process takes a long time. Should that be put out there to educate your fellow students so they can understand that?
