It was like starting over. I finally got back to full time work and my own new business !
Then the dreaded MVA and my third TBI I am a living testimony to faith and self healing. One lesson I learned the hard way.
Be kind to yourself, make yourself rest, get vision therapy and use the best tools you can find your better organize yourself. It is a gift and I’m truly blessed, after each TBI your another person and can create new talents.
Be ready to accept your gift ?

I completely agree. It took me time to realise that the brain injury gave me the opportunity to better understand what my dad was going through as he succumbed to Alzheimer’s. And that meant he was able to be more open and honest about what he needed help with because he knew I wasn’t judging him. Now I use that gift in the work I do, so everything happens for a reason.

Any time bad things happen, I think it’s worth asking. It’s also OK to answer “no.” Sometimes the realization of the gift comes later.
