To all who have suffered a TBI recently or long ago, I suffered my first 15 years ago! Then my last one a year ago!
I guess being older made me question what I was going through this time! The medical profession gives you very little help! They give you meds for a short term then they let you go out on your own. I had a very heated discussion with my first Neurologist. I just wanted a simple article or where to understand what I was going through!! Fired him after the visit when I was out of the hospital! I did some research on the subject! I found the Best Book to help me understand what symptoms, moods, thoughts and limitations I was going through!
It is called "LIVING WITH BRAIN INJURY", A guide for patients and Families! Written by Richard C. Senelick, MD
No matter where in the brain the injury took place. It explains about mental and physical issues you can go through after a TBI! So many people who go through a TBI but don't realize how their personality! Before this TBI and with doctors they just send you on your Merry Way.
It gave me insights that even after a year how the injury affects you in so many ways.!
I highly recommend the book for those who have suffered a TBI or more important those who live with a person who has suffered one and their change in personality.!
Please feel free to ask me any questions that I may be able to help with!
Interesting to note, I had to learn to write again, work on a computer, walk a Stright line among other things. What really baffled my doctor is the day after getting out of the hospital, I had no trouble driving a car!
I hope the book will help anyone who is suffering from a brain injury!
