ShreyaSwimming Like A Fish
Matt went through every physical therapy to regain his body movements and shape. He gymed, did yoga and also swimming. Swimming is a luxury in the hot town of Georgia and people usually don’t have access to pools. But Matt did and by 2016 he could swim by himself, effortlessly!
Reading And Writing Again
There are a lot of things that people take for granting, being able to walk, talk, eat and read. But those who have suffered brain injuries lose their abilities to do most of these things. Matt also struggled with basic human functions. He never gave up though. Even when he had to relearn how to read and write, he did it with all his concentration. With time he was able to write again and read novels.
Driving And Scrabbles
Matt loves cars. He was most impatient to get behind the wheels again once he recovered and so he did! He can now drive effortlessly!
The husband and wife like spending their time in playing mentally stimulating games like Scrabbles. Not only is it interesting but it also helps Matt to increase his concentration power and language skills.
Don’t Glorify Brain Injury
It might appear like a story from the movies but the reality is not romantic like they show on screen. Matt and Danielle warn people against glorifying their journey as it was very difficult and challenging. Their Instagram post said, “Just because a story makes you feel a certain way, doesn’t mean that’s what it’s like to live in that reality.” Watch them in this video on the next slide.
