Another Fork in the Road: with Brain Injury Survivor, Jim Ledgewood

Jim was out for a night of relaxation and entertainment. He was minding his own business when he was shot with a 9mm bullet in the side of his face. (The bullet is still lodged in Jim's head.) One can only imagine how Jim survived, but survive he did. Jim will share his story wih us, tell how his life has changed, and how he's coping with his challenges.

Every TBI survivor and caregiver has encountered a fork in the road that has diverted his or her life-plan. A car accident, a fall from the roof, doing one more chin-up, or a door literally slamming one in the face are just some causes of traumatic brain injury. College plans, walking down the aisle in the perfect dress, or the coveted job quickly slip from reality as dreams turn to struggle. These unexpected life-happenings that divert one from his or her chosen path in life can be devastating. But as Yogi Berra once said, "If you come to a fork in the road, take it." Life is all about choices!
