At a very young age, I always knew I would have an accident and
would be doing everything that I am doing at present, from health
and fitness to aikido. My first physiotherapist, Debbie Harris
(maiden name), got me on my feet and taught me to walk again,
saying, "The rest is up to you." People with damage to the right
temporal lobe are partially psyched, I am also in a mildly euphoric
state (which me means I am happy all the time). Old friends I had
before the accident said I have exactly the same sense of humor. I
suppose it is the brain's way of keeping me in the dark about the
situation I was in. I would like the give my mother special thanks
as she gave up her life to look after me. My wife, Lalita, who says
there is no one else on this planet like me. My aikido sensei,
Peter Gillard, who always stood by me, Kenetsuka Sensei, who
overcame cancer through his aikido practice, and the countless
others who have helped me at vital stages and important times
during my long and winding journey on the road to recovery The aim
of this book is to give able and disabled people hope as when I had
the accident, I had no one to guide me or to follow as surviving a
traumatic brain injury was virtually unheard of, but now they are
keeping people alive on a ventilator. I had to learn by my
mistakes. Fortunately, they weren't many. It's all been a very slow
job. No pain, no gain.
