For those who do not know much about my process or journey with traumatic brain injury, please read below. I sustained an open skull fracture and a severe brain injury in an automobile accident in 1967 when I was 10 years old. I sustained right frontal lobe damage, a severe brain bruise with brain stem involvement. I was in a coma for 3 weeks, in traction to set my left fractured femur (thigh bone) 6-7 weeks and then remained in a Spica or full body cast for 5 months. My brain injury went invisible after my external wounds healed. Sustaining a brain injury can be likened to scattered pieces of a jigsaw puzzle across a table. As a result, individual pieces may make little sense. Little sense to us as we go about trying to make sense of our brain injuries. I stayed baffled, confused, alone, isolated, abandoned and alienated for many years until I started to become aware. As I grew in awareness, I grew in acceptance.
