    An avid cyclist and outdoor enthusiast, Dick Cable went on a long bike ride to increase his yearly mileage on Nov. 6, 2020. When he got back to the parking lot he fell off his bike and hit his head, which resulted in a diffuse axonal brain injury. DIck was airlifted to Vassar Brothers Medical Center where he spent a week in a coma but the prognosis was not good. Six weeks later he came to Gaylord for his care and rehabilitation. No one knew for sure how far DIck would come back. But with intensive therapy and the support of his husband, Tomas, Dick was able to return home where he continues to steadily improve. Dick and Tomas want to offer a special thanks to their friend Joe Thomas for his constant support, care, and enduring friendship throughout Dick's recovery.

    My husband was in a car accident a just a couple weeks ago… he has pretty bad DAI.. I’m well. Pretty much just gutted, I feel empty. I don’t know if he’ll ever recover. I hope he can.. and will.. but I don’t know.. it seems like hopeless a lot..

      How’s your husband? My friend has DAI, she’s in vegetative state right now, I hope she’ll recover…

      Deeply sorry to hear about your husband's injury. It must be an incredibly stressful your family. Could you please provide an update on your husband's condition? Your response and any improvements in their health would be greatly appreciated, as it would provide us with some much-needed reassurance during this difficult period.
      Thank you for your understanding and support.

    How long does it take to wake from Diffuse axonal injury? I know it varies but what is the average?

    Beautiful and inspiring story, but there are too many best-case-scenario infomercials on TBI recovery, and not enough purely informative videos which give realistic expectations for the vast majority.
