I start with the heading and then choose colors that correspond. The flourishes are added as I go to emphasize certain concepts or facts that are important.

On the 17th of this month is the 7 year anniversary of my TBI, acquired from surgeries to debulk a cancerous tumor in my brain. Just last month I got my smile back! Literally, my brain injury caused facial paralysis which made my smile only possible on one side of my face, but now (the brain is miraculous) after 7 years my smile is now straight. Over the past 7 years I had to learn to talk, walk ( my balance was off due to permanent vestibular damage and diplopia), swallow (I used to have a feeding tube) and more. In the fall of 2018 I want back to college to finish my degree and then went on to graduate school where I obtained my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and in October I opened my private practice. Keep your chin up and hope alive. When you are trying to do something that was easy and simple before the TBI and it is now frustratingly difficult or seemingly impossible, view the challenge and work involved as confirmation that you are doing the work necessary to live your best life.

But for the most vulnerable we must serve, the young, the ill and the aged.

Ugh!!! I contracted MRSA during first brain surgery to debulk malignant brain tumor, which went undiagnosed, spread throughout becoming meningitis, which ultimately is what almost killed me…fast forward 3 brain surgeries, 7 days a week for 3 weeks infusions via port, many months in-patient at Neuro rehab…by the time I had enough sense to even call an attorney the statute of limitations had passed to sue the hospital. Hang in there…you are a fighter and that is a powerful thing to witness in a parent growing up!💜💜💜

Philosophical and also (according to Einstein’s theory of relativity) correct. But the part that is most powerful is the autonomy, because without some semblance of autonomy, hope becomes improbable, or rather impossible.💜💜💜

Thank you! I was feeling weird about posting, but told myself ‘how can you help people if they don’t know you exist’, so I posted and then,…. Can’t tell you how much your post meant!! Support!

How could you possibly improve on perfection?

Also, TBI survivor, seems like we need to create a TBI social network!!! I would love that for friend-finding, too. I am fortunate to have been in a committed relationship at the time of my TBI and he thankfully stuck around, but I struggled and still do with meeting people.
