Three Strokes, Not Out!! My life story before, during and after my near fatal ABI (Which had three strokes!)

Hello Stroke Survivors,

I've been told to publish a link to my book on here

Hope you can all enjoy it

My name is Leigh, and I am from Adelaide, South Australia.

A friend of mine from the brain injury community down here mentioned your website, and that I should place my self published book "Three Strokes, Not Out" on there.

I wrote it about my near fatal acquired brain injury from a horrific baseball accident which ruined my chances of major league baseball from LA college leagues in late 2003.

Here is my description

Overview

Imagine waking up tomorrow morning, in a place that you have no idea of how you got there? In a foreign white hospital room, trapped in a bed with a mesh screen locking you in, and when you look at your body you realise you have lost over a third of your body weight. The only thing you know for sure is that you have a ten by ten cm massive tumour in your left abdomen, that could only be cancer, right??

You have absolutely no recollection of any events of the past few years, certainly nothing that can explain to yourself where you are now? Certainly nothing to explain of how you find yourself over the other side of the world in an ER bed in East Los Angeles ICU ward. How would you feel? What would be the first thing you'd like to do? Person you'd like to see??

This book is the real life and incredible true story of Leigh Symons. A young Adelaide kid, with hopes of making it in the US Major Leagues through college baseball in LA. Unfortunately tragedy struck, just as I was about to touch my dreams as a result of a horrific near fatal baseball accident where I was struck in the left temple by a return hit at 250kmph. This story tells of my life, before, during and after, and goes over what steps I took and things I did to regain control of my life and to lead a worthwhile and meaningful life, and how I managed to stay positive and optimistic throughout the journey, in spite of obvious challenges.

I explore my life journey and explain to the reader what steps and changes I had to make to help me achieve the incredibly high goals I had first set when I came out of the coma, to pitch in one more game after the accident, and to rebuild my life in terms of studying again, living without help and achieving normal goals people take for granted.

I explain the steps I had to overcome to achieve everything people take for granted, but with a severe ABI seem out of reach and I hope to be an inspiration and shining light of hope to people going through similar tough challenges with health, or just any other life problem the reader faces. My story is designed to help teach the reader that they have the power and how to achieve their goals and dreams no matter what!
