I think a lot of people out there had it wrong I guess, as I always got shocked looks in real life. Being like a vegetable was what was expended -- but come on, with the Broncos having a good season to then win the MAC in football, I think that's what jostled me back. I couldn't lye dead on the field for very long! :) I shoulda said something on here when I was back mostly, when finishing up Oct (the incident occurred mid-Aug). Of course, I don't remember any of it, anything shortly before, or for a little of a month after. Good thing it didn't happen until After our football season, but instead during the basketball season the way it's going. I woulda been out for the count! :)

Yeah, no recollection by himself of any of that or a little while before that night, nor a month in the hospital apparently. They thought I was going to be a vegetable right after but I bounced back and shocked people that I did. It was football season, so I kinda had to get up and start getting out of things and pay attention. :) And we won the MAC! I didn't want to ruin anything during that. :)
Overall, I've made a good recovery, over 90% through it all. Note to everyone: Do not try breaking into the CMU locker room. 
Welcome back, sir! So glad you are feeling better. God bless you.

RE: Todd
Hey Todd. I don’t post often and I don't have the clout of those that do. But I've been around since my undergrad days in the early 2000's. Been following your story to what extent information was available. I work in Healthcare, specifically physical rehabilitation so I have somewhat of an understanding of what you went through. I'd just.like to say, welcome back and I'm so happy and relieved that you've made the recovery that you have.
If you're feeling up to it, can we get some percentages on the hockey Broncos repeating this year? Could use those odds to plan a trip to Vegas.....or not. Keep on keeping on, sir.

Amen. Welcome back Todd! My son lives near you so I shared your story with him to make sure he was aware of his surroundings.

RE: Todd
Yeah! I came back to see the us win the MAC football conference, and have 2 MAC teams in the tourney, 1 already with a win in the NCAA tournament. Hopefully we squeeze another win out of the two matchups that Akron & Miami face.
