Coma and my recovery, entitled ...

 ...My Coma et all....

Recovering from my injury was mainly in the beginning waking up to what most people call reality.  The process for me took time as the doctors kept me sedated.  Once I began to arouse from what could be called sleeping with my eyes open.  Reality blended (for the lack of a better word) with my dream state.  This makes for an interesting time as sometimes illustrated by my trip on a train.  The real trip occurred somewhere between reality and my time being in my dream world.

Now that I have stepped with both feet into the world of reality, all I can say is I am not going on a train ride soon.  Since my early days of recovery, and learning once again to walk unlike a drunken sailor, my progress has vastly improved.  Also my cognitive reason has vastly improved (I will now challenge anyone to a game of chess).  I am reasonably optimistic that a full recovery will be just around the corner (six months).

A full accounting of my brain injuring landing will be thankfully locked away except by the local varmints.
