Thanks for your interest! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your injury experience.

Many people that find themselves injured (be it through broken bones, torn ligaments, burns or wounds) and struggling to cope with the major changes to their lives. Many people may be getting great medical treatment, but perhaps not the broader (eg. emotional, practical) support they want.
