How do you explain a brain injury to someonewhen you look like you're doing fine?In May 2018, a compressed air accident at the dentistsent me home with a brain injury. My 31-year career as an occupational therapist was over. Welcome to life in Shitville. Living with brain injury and reading about it in textbookswere not the same thing. I hope to provide family members, friends, coworkers, professionals, caregivers, anyone, with insights into the daily struggles of livingwith brain injury while looking normal.
I hope the easy-to-read layoutwill help others with visual processing difficultiesto read about brain injury. This is a story about the grueling stages of anger, frustration, grief, and sadness to find the new "you". It took a 9, 461-mile solo road trip and time away from hometo find my new identity, meaning, and purpose in life.
