First hand experience of living with a traumatic brain injury

                    First hand experience of living with a traumatic brain injury


T.B.I. survivors describe living with a traumatic brain injury on brainline.org. These are just a few of the first hand descriptions of living with or living with someone who has a traumatic brain injury.  The short and long term effects can vary greatly, even more that the few that I will list here.  Yet, the same two things are required of any family members, friends, and loved ones of T.B.I. survivors, patience and understanding.


1. " A puzzle. All the pieces are there but they are in the wrong order."  Barbara


2.  "Scary. I look the same but feel somewhere else."  Ann-Michel


3.  "Devastating, exhausting, widely misunderstood"  Jules


4.   "An invisible memory taker, mood changer, life changer!"   Meg


5.  "A family affair.  When a family member has one, it effects everyone."  Stephanie
