In addition to writing about my recovery as it happened, another thing I did not do is take photos.
This kind of disadvantaged me in another way because I chose to write a book about my recovery, yet I don't have any "before" shots.
There are no photos of me at the hospital, lying in bed, or going through therapy, no photos of me in a wheelchair, or using a walker, the trach tube inserted into my throat. No photos of friends who came to visit me at the hospital, and no photos of the hospital personnel who helped me so much.
Again, memories fade, and photos are a good reminder of what happened - and to remember faces.
Pt. 3 will cover video
