His Eyes Were Bright Blue Again — Becca Gallery | Ep. 55

from The Real Lives of TBI Wives · host Erika Brouillette

Years of quietly filling in his sentences, moving things into his path before he could lose them, learning to read the overstimulation before it became a storm. She was setting him up for success without him knowing and giving him his dignity while absorbing everything he couldn't carry until she couldn't sustain it anymore. Then came the brain scan and the moment Robert laughed because he finally had a reason 'I'm not crazy'  This episode covers the brain scan that made it real,  Robert finding Marcus and Amber Capone, the four days in Mexico with a group of veterans, and the moment Becca flew to San Diego to pick him up and saw his bright blue eyes again for the first time in years. It also covers what Robert built after, Athletes for Care, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit co-founded to support athletes at every level dealing with the mental and physical aftermath of their careers, and the work being done to bring Ibogaine treatment to the United States. Check out what is happening over at Athletes for Care  And, as always, continue the conversation over at Reclaim

Becca Gallery married Robert Gallery, an NFL offensive lineman, when they were nineteen years old at the University of Iowa and for years she quietly filled in his sentences, moved things into his path, and set him up for success without him knowing, because she didn’t yet have words for what was happening to his brain after eight seasons of professional football. In this episode, Becca shares the brain scan that made it real, the podcast episode Robert listened to 200 times before he found his answer, and the four days in Mexico with a group of veterans that brought her bright-eyed, carefree college Robert back.
