According to woodbury.kstp.com, three years ago Steve Konrad hit a
mattress on I-94 that had fallen off a vehicle in front of him.
Had he not been wearing a helmet, doctors say he would have
died.
He suffered a traumatic brain injury, was in a coma for
months, and when he woke up had to learn to walk, talk, and eat again.
The Konrad's say brain injuries are misunderstood.
"It's not a physical injury that you can see, its
mental, people say that's nothing, but it is, its really debilitating, "
says Konrad. His wife Melodee says it's been tough, "He's not the same man
that I married, I have to get used to that, he's a different man now with a brain
injury."
Despite his injuries, Konrad says he has a positive attitude
and is recovering better than doctors ever expected.
