• 105. Update on relationships after TBI with my husband, Don Dickey
    Oct 25 2024

Don joined me last in January 2024 for a discussion on how TBI has had an effect on our relationship and comes back today for an update. We have been together for over 3 years, just over 1 year of marriage. Of all of his roles, little did he realize that one of the most demanding he would hold would be supporting me after the accident.
