Dear Sir / Madam,
Despite the challenges and obstacles of surviving a traumatic brain injury (TBI), I never lost hope and spirit to achieve my dreams and goals in life.
I survived a head injury during an automobile accident in Sialkot - Pakistan, on October 07, 2018. I lost consciousness, my family and friends admitted my collapsed self to a Doctors Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan 🇵🇰.
I remained 03 months in a coma in the same hospital. According to the doctors, I got 02 strokes during my coma, and later on, the doctors diagnosed that I have a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
I came back to USA with my brother on a wheelchair as my right hand and right leg were paralyzed, and I lost my speaking ability.
Right after I came back to America 🇺🇸 then my medical treatment initiated here in USA. I got BOTOX injections in USA, and one fine day I left wheelchair and starting walking but very slowly and carefully, initially.
My right hand, right foot and speaking frequency has been improved, however 50% paralyzed yet as on January 27, 2023.
Before my accident, I was working as a Director for Procurement & Sales for Dallas Lighthouse for Blinds, a non-profit organization in Dallas, TX. My nonprofit organization was serving for the Federal and State Government USA 🇺🇸.
TBI has changed my life, and I developed special needs, although I am independent enough at the same time. Sometimes, I think that TBI is my additional qualification and a decree that adds an adjective to who I am .....…
"I am a true TBI WARRIOR, faced and continuously conquering the toughest battles, everyday."
It takes ALLAH’s blessing, courage, strength, and determination to overcome such an injury and continue with my life, Alhamdulillah.
ALLAH SWT almighty has already shown HIS blessing by gifting me a chance at life, Mashallah.
I am a testament to the power of the human spirit and the resilience of the human mind.
My journey of outliving a head injury and thriving as a TBI survivor was possible due to the support of my family, took care of me like a baby during my unconsciousness. With their help and my faith in ALLAH, I developed a unique potential realize, aimed to achieve new milestones, and believe that the best is yet to come.
I strongly believe in myself, never give up, and know that I am not alone as ALLAH is with me, Alhamdulillah. My faith in ALLAH is helping me to overcome obstacles, set new goals, and never to lose hope.
Till now, I have shown remarkable resilience, determination, and a fighting spirit, Alhamdulillah.
With Allah’s blessings, I will keep pushing forward, Inshallah 🙏.
Regards,
Asad
