I Myself have never known someone who experienced Brain Injury, let alone Someone Who had a Brain Injury, then recovered. OK, there are plenty of those in our Military who suffered from how is it spelled? Are those Bombs usedear in the Middle East Called IUD'S? I mean I bet some of those Who experienced Brain Damage due to IUD'S ave caused Axuonal Sheeting of the Brain could talk about the effects, of the Bombs similarity to what I experienced due to My having impacted the Ground at a fairly high speed. Heck We could: Tal Shop.

Are those Bombs usedear in the Middle East Called IUD'S?

I believe they're called IEDs for "Improvised Explosive Device". IUDs are something else.

[Chris McKeon]

Well I guess that if the desired event is to cause the effect of sheered Brain Axons.. to accomplish the Shearing of Brain Axons. Then IED, or Pound one Self. The effect, the outcome is pretty much the same

[Chris McKeon]

I think that what I am about to Text is here under the heading Brain Dead Thoughts, Text page is it called? Anyways I just want to say that if I had ever known that there was a very real Possibility that I might Pound Myself into the ground with so much force so as to. Have sheered Brain Axons, that resulted in My having Brain Injury. I might never have Flown. We all have injured ourselves in our lives. Look,All of Doctors when they have, well in many cases We have had Doctors having the understanding to have similar experiences in their lives to Draw upon. It would be like reinh s Doctor zWho spent their Whole lives in perfect Health, having from drawing upon their prior experiences being able to have an understanding when it comes to have an understanding regarding having injured Ones Brain. No there has never been a Doctor say toMe:When I injured my Brain I did . .XYZ .? This whole experience, from My initially having Pounded,all the way up till Today. This Deal makes me feel like some sort of Pioneer, a Trail Blazer.

So what I am texting out here shows just how badly I Damaged My Brain 16 Years ago. So here a couple of Thoughts that I have come up with Demonstrated just how severely that I Damaged My Brain 16 Years ago. I think about Flying, and how lucky I was back in Our Winter here in the Northern Hemisphere. How lucky it was that I happened to go down to New Zealand and spend some Quality Kiwi Time. I can still remember how I felt that Day when took as; (PILOT IN COMMAND). It was the most awesome exquisite feeling. I believe that on My very next Flight. I will experience those same feelings on My very next Flight. Yes I will feel the same way, but the feelings will be a Hundred times more intense than they were down in New Zealand back in 1991.

[Chris McKeon]

I am so looking forward to Flying again. Yes when John and I tae I believe that for Mu first Flight in 16 Years, I will Fly John's big Single Surface North Wing Glider
Van You Guys say Magic Time?

I too want to return to flight and I was confused in the 80s and 90s. An IUD (Intrauterine Device) is a highly effective, long-term, reversible form of contraception inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy, lasting 3–10 years. Conversely, an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) is a hazardous, homemade explosive weapon, often associated with military conflict. The two terms are commonly confused in humorous contexts.

[Chris McKeon]

Ok, it has been 16 Years since My last Flight. Even though I flew fairly well as a Pilot. I truly wonder that because of the damage to My Brain from My having a T-B-I, I worry that I will have Trouble recovering My Memories how to competently Fly.

[dhmartens]

It was 16 years after I broke up with the girl I was to marry engaged at the top of the Sears tower the tallest building in the world but I left consulting to become a manager of information systems at Rockwell International but with a 50% pay cut, I began hang gliding lessons at WindSports in California where I restarted my consulting carear with great effect. I flew for a year at Dockweiler so I could build muscle memory.( video has profanity)

[Chris McKeon]

Ok last night I Dreamed about Flying. I for one simply just love to dream about Flying. So in My Dream I was Flying acV Route. Yes I was actively in the Cross Country Flying type of Flying. Yes I would Top out while Flying, having adjust My circling so as. To try to really core each Thermal. Thanking each Thermal up to CLOUDBASE. The. I wouuldleval the Songs of My incredible 158 Predator, and pull in the bar for Speed. You guys all know the Drill. your on Glide, You are low. That sense of dread enters Your Brain. I talked to My self: "Come on Chris there is another Thermal You will find it. Then low and behold My Starboard wing Flys through a wisp of lift . I roll into a left turn and woalaw! My Day does not end! For I will continue to Fly! Heck I can not go out and try out My 6' 3" talk sub 200 pound Body Yet it that Day is on the way, YEA BABY!
