Well, this is going to be a pretty quick post, but wanted to take a minute and let you know what happened over the holidays.

On December 21 I was in an auto accident that gave me a brain contusion. Regarding the exact cause of the accident, there were poor road conditions, but other than that it’s sketchy. Something caused me to loose control of my father-in-law’s car and hit another car head-on with the passenger’s side of the car I was driving. Those in the other car walked away ok, thanks goodness. I ended up in the intensive care for a few days while they kept in a drug induced coma and monitored my brain for swelling or other complications, and then the hospital for a few days. A total of 9 days under the care of doctors and a great group of nurses and caregivers.

Though I was verbally and physically behaving normally, it took the first half of January before I was remembering things on a daily basis, as predicted by the doctors. In fact, they said it could take up to a year before I feel completely back to my normal self. At this point, other that some difficulty I have dealing with visual extremes (brights, darks, lots of motion or movement), I’m feeling quite good and extremely thankful for my life, my wife and kids, my mom & dad, and my entire family, my team and my bosses Andrew and Tim who were and are all incredibly supportive.

I’ll probably post more about this in the future, but that’s it for now. Hope everyone had a great holiday season.
