The Story of Cavin Bounce

I’m Cavin.

The story of this guy is amazing. Cavin Bounce suffered a traumatic brain injury, was comatose for 12 days, and had less than a 10% chance of recovery…

3 years ago, I was starting a business and living in NYC.

On May, 8th of 2011, I fell 2 stories and landed in a coma with a 10% chance of recovery.

Mom in ICU.

I was diagnosed with a Diffuse Axonal, Traumatic Brain Injury.

I woke up after a 12-day coma, with no recollection of what happened and severe brain fog.

Where am I?

I couldn’t walk, talk, or eat for 4 straight months.

It was hell.

I lost significant control over much of my functioning and felt trapped for most of the recovery.

I began to process and accept what happened to me, and started blogging about my experience.

I was ready to be myself again, to help educate others, and get back to life.

It took a tremendous amount of time to re-gain certain abilities.

After 4 months, I could eat again.

I pushed myeslf, and I began to re-learn to walk.

It was time to celebrate!

As soon as I could speak again, I tried to sing. As soon as I could use my left arm again, I began to play.

Now, I work to educate about brain health and spread awareness about Traumatic Brain Injury.

I even got to play a show at SXSW.

I’m currently working on a book called “Lights, Coma, Action” to tell my story of recovery and to help others understand TBI.
