"hugely trying..."
These days were clearly 'hugely trying' for the whole
family, and as these statements show, it wasn't only Andrew who was traumatised.
Doctors told him many months later, that he wouldn't have survived the sheer
shock of the impact of being hit by the car if he hadn't been so intoxicated.
These days he laughs at some of the terrible states he used to get into, thanks
to drink and drugs. As a youngster he remembers being very impressionable and
easily led.
Today Andrew is focused on other issues..........perhaps mostly the simple issue
of living healthily and enjoying the martial arts disciplines which have
contributed so markedly to his recovery.
He feels an emerging ambition to be involved in healing in some way, and it is
his hope that this site will not only inspire others who have suffered from head
injuries, trauma and shock, but indeed that it might benefit anyone who has
experienced a long term medical condition which can benefit from , prayer,
meditation and natural healing.
It is felt that extracts from Andrew’s diaries will do the best job of
communicating this side of the story, although some additional comment from
articles published in the South Wales press will also be encountered by the
reader in the course of this text.
Looking at a few more entries from his mum’s diaries we can see that recovery
was an slow process and not without it’s worries in the early days.
