Thank you to everyone who supported me on my last post. I’m just getting older - will be 40 this year. God dammit!
It’s Brain Injury Awareness month, so I thought I should open up about my experience. Mine is an Anoxic Brain Injury, which is one of the more severe types, and every day, my family and friends step up to help me navigate the challenges. I am so grateful for them.
March is Brain Injury Awareness Month 🧠💚
Every brain injury story is different, but they all deserve to be seen, heard, and supported. Today we honor the survivors, families, caregivers and advocates who face the challenges of brain injury with courage every single day. Together we can create a community that listens, learns, and lifts each other up.

Some people are saying I got fat - all from a selfie where I just wanted to share my cute new haircut. Well…I’m just grateful to be here. As a TBI survivor, it’s tough just getting through each day anymore. To everyone who left a supportive comment - I LOVE YOU!
Thank you to everyone who reached out recently to wish me a happy birthday/halloween. You sure know how to make a guy feel loved!
1/ Hey Lover B’s:
As I approach my 39th birthday next week; boy do I have an important life update to share. For those who’ve been wondering where I’ve been, and what I’ve been up to these past few years, here goes…
6/ Anyone who knows me knows that Halloween is my favorite holiday (it’s also my birthday). So I’ll leave you all with a pic of my favorite costume from a few years back. See if you can guess which one I am? 😈
Love and light,
SPL
5/ Believe it or not, I even started riding horses And if you know where to look, you can still find me out having a good time on weekends.
4/ In July of that year, I was finally able to vacate my hospital room to rejoin the living. Ever since, life’s been a lot different, but I’ve been very blessed to be surrounded by my amazing family and friends who have all helped me to ease back into a daily routine.
3/ By some strange miracle, the incredible staff where I was being treated was able to save my life, and thus began a long period of recovery where I had to re-learn how to do things like walking, eating, and other things that we all take for granted every day.
2/ On Feb 17, 2023, I was hospitalized a massive seizure. I was immediately rushed to the hospital, where I was placed on life support, but unfortunately, they weren’t able to register any brain activity.
