Tragic truth behind boyfriend’s ‘ghosting’

When Hayley Woloshen met and Cody Bryant in Hawaii in 2022 they hit it off immediately.

They discovered that they lived just a mile apart and enjoyed a whirlwind romance.

But after spending several weeks together Cody suddenly stopped responding to Hayley’s messages.

She wrongly assumed that he had ghosted her but the truth was far more tragic.

Cody had been in an accident while riding a moped in Ibiza and suffered devastating injuries that left him in a coma.

Hayley only found out the truth when she stumbled across a GoFundMe page revealing what had happened to Cody.

Hayley thought she was being ghosted by Cody but the truth was far more tragic.

Hayley reached out but sadly Cody’s injuries meant he couldn’t remember their time together.

However they kept talking and managed to rekindle their romance.

“Neither of us expected it, but feelings started to build. I joke that she won me over a second time,” Bryant wrote in an Instagram post.

Doctors were afraid that Cody would never walk again due to his injuries but he defied the odds and in March this year he and Hayley climbed the Acatenango volcano in Guatemala.

“I tackled many big name treks around the world prior to my accident, but sadly, I thought I’d never be capable of doing this again,” Cody said.

Cody was in a coma after he was in a moped accident in Ibiza.

“I still struggle with balance and muscle co-ordination, so descending on slippery, steep, uneven ground resulted in a lot of slips and falls. Thankfully, Haley’s cheerleading skills came in handy to minimise the impact.”

But despite his incredible progress Cody told followers that his brain injury was still proving extremely difficult to live with.

Cody managed to hike up a volcano despite doctors’ concerns he would never walk again.

Hayley and Cody reconnected after she saw his GoFundMe page.

“My positivity has gotten me so far and I don’t want to lose that, but I’m going to be more transparent about the invisible difficulties,” he told followers.

“The sentence ‘I wish I was missing limbs instead of having an injured brain’ has shown up in my journal more than once. Consciously losing your mind is terrible.”

Cody still has most of his long term memories but he has gaps in recent years. He can’t remember the holiday where he was in the moped accident, or the year after that.

“My brain doesn’t ‘auto save’ anymore so I use notes for everything,” he explained.

“My attention is fleeting so I often lose track of what I’m doing. I strictly rely on the clock because my innate sense of time is quite poor.”

Despite facing many daily challengers Cody has vowed to relearn how to write, run and swim.

“I’ve always believed a person’s mindset is so powerful and my recovery has reinforced that belief,” he said.
