Mike – How has your relationship with your spouse or partner changed?

It's been a rollercoaster ride. We got some highs and we got some lows, and you just try and weather the storm. And you know, if you can stay together, that's great, and I've had a wonderful partner, and she's done so much for me I could never thank her enough for it. You just really try and ride it out and see what's going to happen because you're the same person as you were before your injury, and you go through a lot, a lot of sickness you know, a couple steps forward another step back—but if you can come out of that, it really makes for strong bond.
