Remember when our friend fell and hit his head (to put it insanely mildly.)? Last night we had dinner with Dorian & Aimee in a mini celebration. 6 months of recovery later, Dorian, a writer, has his first cover story in San Diego's weekly paper! It is documenting his experience with the injury. You can read it here. And then spend some time thinking about helmets. Photograph of Dorian by his talented wife Aimee. If Dorian's story leaves you wanting more, check out his blog, where he has been writing about his recovery as it happens.*oh crap! I had the wrong link. Sorry!
I was reading his story at influx yesterday morning. It most certainly left an impression. I had a friend do something similar on a skateboard, but he wasn't so lucky. He pasted a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeletewhoa. that's intense but an incredible story. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHURRAH! I'm so glad he's here.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty amazing. Not gonna lie, I got choked up a couple times - namely at the thought of Aimee singing Wilco songs to him. So glad he's doing better - and HERE, as Mouse said.
ReplyDeletei almost got physically ill several times while i was reading dorian's story, it was so intense and upsetting. i'm so happy to hear that his recovery keeps getting better and better.
ReplyDeletei've been secretly reading his blog off and on for a while now. how his relationship with aimee has evolved throughout his struggle is mind-blowing to me.
ReplyDeletethey're amazing people. i think about them a lot, actually.
So happy to hear Dorian and Aimee are doing better. They are both so brave! Thanks for keeping us updated, Jamie!
ReplyDeleteHis story is amazing.
ReplyDeletewow, this story was so intense it made me cry, but really beautiful. dorian and his wife are amazing, and it's so nice to hear that he's doing better, despite the long, ongoing recovery. they're both really brave.
