Life With a Traumatic Brain Injury: Finding the… by Amy Zellmer
If you have every fallen and hit your head, you will be able to relate to author Amy Zellmer’s slip on the ice. This book is filled with nuggets of information about the seriousness of head injuries and how easily the medical community can miss the aftereffects; this book covers physical, emotional, and social ramifications. Especially useful is tips for coping with traumatic brains injuries and the contents for a healing care package. A brief list of resources is included.
Short, informative, necessary and amazing. Need i say more?
I will because the author was kind enough to send me a copy of this book.
I am the wife of a man with a TBI , tho his was thru brain surgery, not an accident.... with a 1 % chance of surviving surgery. ( i met and married him years after ) I read it aloud to him and for the FIRST time in years i saw that he was thrilled that someone 'got' it. I NEEDED this book to change MY perspective in daily life with him. No two cases are the same....true. Yet there are similarities that tie all TBI victims together. I had to smile as i read because he just kept nodding and interrupting to add his viewpoint. I could smack myself for all the times i've said " well just spit it out!" when he is struggling for words....aphasia- a word i just learned last month at the neurologists office.
It is a miracle that my husband is alive. It is truly a miracle that Amy wrote this book. And furthermore it is truly a miracle that after 3 tries thru our postal system that my copy got here....IT WAS MEANT TO BE.
I wish to god that Amy Zellmer had never slipped on ice. And yet i am so very appreciative that she CARES enough to take her struggles and misery and put them into words for the rest of us. Those with TBI and those who live with the survivors.… (more)
