His writing contains insights into the human spirit and explains the true grit needed in pulling through life's perpetual struggles. With brain injury there are days that are steps forward, others where there are steps backwards and plenty of frustration in life's new "normal". George has learned that life is often like threading a needle; frustrating, maddening, but with persistence, tenacity and "figuring it out on my own", goals can be accomplished. At the end of the day, George like so many brain injury survivors, is brave enough to say "Yes, I will try again tomorrow". That takes real courage!

The road to recovery is long hard and slow - a journey that has got to be one of the most inspiring and profound examples of human resiliency and the power of our brains to heal and adapt.
