donny, i was just at your website but it didn't really tell me much. it explains what hypoxia is, which i knew, but doesn't say anything about how it happened? what DID happen? you should expand on it on your site. anyway, looks like you're recovering well. hope that keeps up.

@kingcrimson234 Hi Kingcrime sorry about that i didnt realize that i did not have it on my website

but i just had updated my website.....

On New Year’s Eve I went to Vegas and I wasn’t feeling too good I had went to bed early that night because I guess the bacterial infection was starting to take a toll on my body!

@kingcrimson234

I had woken up right at 12 am right when the fireworks went off because of my anxiety which the anxiety was caused from my bacterial infection! But I didn’t think anything of it!

On Jan 12th of 2008 due to a two and a half hour delay on getting me to the hospital I lost oxygen to my brain which means that I got Hypoxia. Hypoxia led to brain damage and went into a coma for 10 days.

wow you must be at least twelve maybe thirteen to make a comment so ignorant. I don't hate people like you i feel sorry for you. I work in the ICU and I see this a lot but I know behind every injury there is still a person.

Hey Donny, your video is awesome man! (Well, not "AWESOME" but I like how it shows all of your progress also! It has to make you just sit back in amazement at the progress you have made since then! I feel honored to have your video come up just after I watched my "Tribute to David Huddleston" video about my accident!

Donny, no lie, unfortunately I've experianced a TBI aswell + like you, bacterial infections...they/the TBI=worse than hell. Before my injury I really knew nothing about brain injury, but sadly I learned the hard way,very few know about it, even those intellectual enough to feel sympathetic EG doctors honestly dont understand. Anyways great work bro, stay in there you got this shit! Did you have a "difussed axonal" TBI? I was in a coma just less than 4 months and I was curious if that was why.

@tknur2009 damn you've been in a coma for 27 years?

[tknur2009]

I'm just happy too see that the push is still there. I can still remeber what it was like after I woke up from the comma & finding out I had a tbi 27 yrs ago. All I can say is keep up the push. my reaction is funny because thats the only thing I know is just to laff it off. humor I found was the best source of dealing with my injury. I realize Im just typing in my own 2 cents worth.

I survived a car wreck almost a year ago man and i suffered a TBI, it affected more of my cognitive skills than anything, its hard for me to concentrate on things for a long period and my memory is horrible. short and long term i couldnt tell ya what i did for xmas two years ago :/ youra beast keep it up, favorite quotes are THE MOST COMMON CASUE OF FAILURE IS THE HABIT OF QUITTING WHEN ONE IS OVERTAKEN BY TEMPORARY DEFEAT

hey donny, i have also had a second chance in life, i got ran off the road by someone and rolled three times and was airlifted to the hospital. I looked at your picture on youtube. Indeed you did have a chance at a second life. Its been 2 years and i am almost there to my recovery, i do most everything on . But whether i completly get well or not i am better off now, you see i had many additions to drugs,marijuana,alcohol, cigarettes..now i am free from all that , now I AM SAVED, ALIVE,AND FREE
