For the first time since her head injury, Courtney Dye was able to personally update her website. She wrote:

Hello everyone!

Thank you for your cards, goodies, flowers and emails! I’m sorry I can’t respond to them all, but please know I am getting and appreciating all of them.

I am awake and tube free now! For those of you worried that I am becoming depressed, do not concern yourselves; I had to take a test on if the reason I giggled so much was a disorder! It is hard for me not to giggle when I’m struggling to do something that was once easy for me, like walking, talking or eating!

It’s difficult not to be sad when I think of how much it sucks what happened to me, how much I am missing out on etc., but I have become aware that I am not only lucky to be alive, but to have all my memories (except the final few days) and senses in tact.

I am very lucky to have the constant support of family (including husband—thank you, thank you, thank you!) friends, and dressage enthusiasts.

Much love and appreciation to all.

Ckd
