Sometimes you just feel your in the right place at the right time. My friend Margaret and I were just walking up Byres road when I recognised a person I knew. This was a new member of our Headway group, but I didn't know his name. But as I introduced him I just had to be honest as say ' sorry I don't know your name' (sometime it just pay's to be honest)
So with lot's of enthusiasm we got into a long conversation and shared a bit of our experience, and I hope helped Jim to see that although recovery is slow it always continues. you never get back to where you were pre-ABI, but life always gets better and quality of life carries on improving.
Jim had his acquired brain injury a few years ago, so it's still quite recent for him, but an important job for us veteran ABIist's is to role model what is possible after 10, 20 or more years
