TBI SurvivorWithin Seconds, Everything Changed

Happy Traumatic Brain Injury Day! {that just sounds weird}

I'm coming up on the 2 year anniversary of my traumatic brain injury- it didn't fly by like when your kid is all of a sudden 5 years old, or how you've been married for 9 years!  

The last two years have almost felt like slow motion.  I know I've come a long way (read last years post) but almost every day I feel like EVERY SINGLE THING in my life has changed since my accident.  

This month I have taken a lot of time to surround myself with other TBI survivors and share my ups & downs.  Some of us are in this weird category of injuries where we look totally normal (sometimes, ha!) and we can function in society, our friends say we're the same...but we don't feel like ourselves.  Our daily struggles may be quiet and sometimes private.  This can make it difficult to build awareness.

Every 13 seconds, someone sustains a traumatic brain injury!

Today, I challenge you to take 2 minutes to close your eyes and give your brain a break- they deserve it :)  

I have some exciting things coming up & I can;t wait to share them with you so STAY TUNED!!!!!!!!!
