A Mental Health Break
Given a 50% Chance to Live, Ian Panter Took Control
"I turned 37 in rehab after suffering a severe TBI. As a passenger in a car, I got hit on my side going 86 in the 35 speed zone.
I was given a 50% chance to live by the doctors.
The next week, my mother was told I would need 24-hour care for the rest of my life, then another week later in a group home, and then a week later I could be taken to rehab.
This whole time I was non-responsive and had six weeks of amnesia."
A few areas of discussion with Ian Panter include:
-The power of changing one word: change has to get in your choice of sentences
-The last thing he remembered for 6 weeks
-The community of Tough Mudder
-Other people are affected by situations in your life
-Having to adjust
-Having a support system
