What I know for sure....  (Not a complete list...  it keeps growing.)

I remained calm, I did not panic.
This journey is as individual as I am. There are no road maps or directions. I learn as I go. (sometimes I get lost a lot)
It's hard to have patience. And to be patient
It sucks being the one who needs to ask for help, whether it is my idea or more often it was at the suggestion of near and dear friends. I'm supposed to be the one who gives the help.    It was hard to admit that I needed help at the beginning.
I stopped comparing myself to anyone else, especially the two other people who shared the same ride.
My pilot that night will always be my hero...
I've learned that other people can be unaware that the things they say are hurtful.
I can be calm and composed on the surface, and struggling beneath the surface.
There are things you prepare for and train for, but never want to happen.
I floundered many times. I can never thank those who helped me along the way enough. Sometimes I was able to get up on my own and sometimes others had to help me.
There will always be some things that will bug or bother me
There were times when I was scared
"Bravery isn't lack of fear, it is dealing with the fears to do what you need to do."
When everyone else had moved on and life for them was back to "normal",  I was still several steps or even miles behind.
There will always be some things I will never 'get over'    I just get better at integration.
I can handle crisis, it's the day to day living that can be interesting and challenging.
The ripple effect and post-accident fallout is harder to overcome and manage.
I am harder on myself.
I am vigilant as ever and have zero tolerance for complacency or unsafe behaviors.
I wished it was someone else's nightmare instead of mine.... I don't wish this on anyone.
I never had panic attacks before.
No matter how much I swim, cross country ski, hike, run, or bike.... I can't outrun what happened and all the intense feelings, but it helps me to keep as normal as I can and keep the stress in check.
Time helps
The body's ability to handle trauma is amazing.  Understanding, dealing with, coping with, and managing all the emotional and physical responses after the trauma is, at times, a struggle.
It was 2 1/2 years after the accident when one of my best friends told me that I'm finally back to myself.
We all carry baggage, understand that what we do for a living impacts us in many unseen ways
Educate yourself in every way possible. You cannot learn to much.
I had to step away to help myself
I have found balance in my life.
I have grown in so many ways. I faced uncertainty, joys, fears, depression, loss- professionally and personally and came out the other side a bit better for the wear and tear.
I'm patched up now but the scab is easily ripped off.  I still ooze sometimes. 
Many people helped me in so many ways and I can never thank them enough.
There is an amazing strength and power in those who have shared experiences. I am forever thankful to that support and strength we gave to each other.
I have to pay it forward
