Abstract

The Unvarnished Recounting of My Personal Experience in OVERCOMING most of
the effects of BRAIN INJURY

"Against The Odds.
3yrs + & Still Improving
YOU Can Too!"

-

Amazing! - people can't believe that only 3 years ago I suffered very severe
brain damage involving Post Traumatic Amnesia of 23 days.
They say I Appear So Normal!

APPEARANCES CAN BE DECEPTIVE!!!!

The INVISIBLE Curse - Traumatic Brain Injury - everything is not always
as it seems. A long time after the physical injuries heal some
repercussions of a Brain Injury linger on, invisible to the naked eye.

* "Out of sight out of mind"
* People don't see an injury and presume there is nothing wrong.
* Often what sufferers say and do is misconstrued as a character
defect.
* This can make them feel inferior - or worse.
* This is especially so when the sufferer can remember what life was
like before.

This book is written by a Brain Injured person, in the hope of improving
understanding of the difficulties encountered by those who are recovering
from brain injury. The intention is to hopefully give those closest to the
one with the damaged / short-circuited brain some understanding and insight
into the convoluted "logic" or total lack thereof with which they have to
live.

I certainly wish I had been able to access the thoughts of someone else with
similar lack of reason when I was grappling with both the possibility of
insanity and the uncertainty of recovery.

If it is possible to encourage those with Brain Injury to extend
themselves (CAREFULLY) to achieve the best they will become capable of,
with practice, then this will be doubly worthwhile.

Ten million people world wide will suffer the tragedy of a TBI each
year.

In the U.S. it's estimated to be 1.7 million people. TBI is a
contributing factor to a third (30.5%) of all injury-related deaths.

In Australia, it is by far the leading cause of disability and death in
young people.

Excerpt from: "Recovery THE ART OF THE POSSIBLE"
By Trevor Short (Synapse Journal bia Sept. 2009)
The sense of achievement one feels on realising an ability, or even
just a word, is not necessarily forgotten is like waking up from a coma
to realise you are not actually dead.
The downside of this "born again" epiphany can be the desire to stop
where one is and enjoy the life one can have with limited faculties
(how could I resist using the forgotten word epiphany which only came
to me because I was forcing the issue?)
It scares me the number of times I have actually said "I can survive
with what I have. I don't want to keep getting better if the cost is
constant fatigue."
It is now over 2yrs and 3 months since my injury and for the last few
months the acceleration of learning and recovery of abilities and
understanding of concepts can only be described as exponential.

Comment:
It was great to read about how far you have come in your recovery. So
often we hear about how fatigue goes hand in hand with the effort put
into the recovery process.

I think it explains very well just how tough things can get and helps
family members better understand their loved one with a brain injury.

Excerpt from: "Am I Crazy?" By Trevor Short
(Synapse Journal bia Dec. 2009)
Even when one is convinced that the after affects of brain injury have
been overcome, there is a dark spectre lurking in the background.
It is nearly three years since my TBI in a car smash, and my wife and I
still have to deal with the effects of confusion, frustration and
negative emotions. These can be triggered by something as simple as
the inability to think and remember in any form of order.The idea that
I am trying to express is how confusion can lead to depression, which
might lead to mental illness. Or, is the inability to think logically
a cause or a product of mental illness?
The inability to finish a thought process can definitely make one
question one's sanity.

Comment:
Your article describes so well the cognitive difficulties faced after a
brain injury and how this ties in with depression - thank you.

Unbelievably it's now over 3yrs and I am still recovering and regaining
more of my old self.

INSIDE INFORMATION ON:

* The SECRET of what brought me out of 23 days of PTA.

* Why do the words elude me but feelings overcome me?

form of choice presented a seemingly insurmountable barrier.

until it has?

* WHAT IS EMPOWERING / DISEMPOWERING?

Find out in INTERPERSONAL INTERACTION.
* What has OVER-STIMULATION got to do with Anger and/or Aggressive
Behaviour?
* What TRIGGER never .... ever to push with a TBI!

Found on Page 81
* Why do they seem to take everything personally?
* Why any mention of what they are doing wrong is worse than a
holding a red rag to a bull!
* How the mood can change from CALM to MEGAWATT RAGE in 1
millisecond!
* The TRUTH about Why You Can't Get a Simple Answer to a Simple
Question.
* What Was THE ESSENTIAL Factor In Accepting What Happened!
