Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1986 I on my drive into work I was in a freak car accident as a construction truck accidentally dropped a bale of hay onto my windshield. In summary I lost control of my car as it rolled off the road and into cement construction materials. My Little Honda was demolished and the state police pulled me out of my car with the "Jaws of Life". I registered as dead 2x on route to the hospital in an ambulance. Admitted to the hospital in a coma with a traumatic brain injury (tbi), the coma lasted for 7 days and for the next 6 years I had extensive therapy with a lot of self-study and input from my loved ones. In 1992, after returning to college and graduating with an Occupational Therapy Assistant Degree I received my state registration and state certification. I worked full time for about 8 years in the O.T. department in various Metro Detroit geriatric skilled nursing facilities. During my recuperation I kept notes as directed by my psychologist to help me understand life. A Speech Language Pathologist/friend of mine learned of my notes "you have to make those into a book, it could help other TBI survivors and their loved ones. "This is my life story written from those notes and memoirs of re-learning to live. Today April 2011, I currently work part time as a COTA (Certified Occupational Therapy assistant/L) as I write, Advocate for other survivors, and sell my writings. At the age of 24 my mental abilities were taken from me and I had to learn everything as if I were a newborn baby. For a long time I asked God why he did not let me die. Today I know the answer is that I was kept alive to help others, motivate my fellow survivors, support families and educate the general public.Welcome to my world and the recreation of my mind. I believe you will read things you never imagined, you will laugh and cry with me. But no worries- I live the life of a mentally healthy, very happily married and well-adjusted woman.I pray my happiness to be an inspiration to all.

Download or read book Thriving After a Severe Traumatic Brain Injury written by Donavan Vliet and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about my traumatic brain injury recovery since 1969. I have with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) for almost fifty years. The accident happened when I was 11. This book documents my struggle to survive through the good days as well as the bad days. Writing this book encourages me to move forward in spite of the brain change. The messages conveyed in this book has inspired me to pick up the TBI mantle and expand my vision of what is possible after the injury. This book encourages me to overcome any obstacle and achieve my dream. As I constantly stretch forward and live my life to the fullest, I know that the next adventure is going to be better, greater. At times it seems like I am in a "brain fog" as a result of the injury. Dealing with a brain injury is not easy. The situation of brain-impairment may not change in my lifetime. Sure I have overcome obstacles, however like most brain injury survivors I have to be vigilant otherwise negative thoughts will overcome me. Negative thoughts are bound to appear, but I have the right to not let them take rest in my life. I must pay attention to what plays in my mind. I only give thoughts of hope, thoughts of faith and thoughts of victory space to run in my mind, not thoughts of despair or disappointment. This book is testimony that I have been refreshed mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically by my recovery in the past and today. Better things tomorrow are just around the corner. Things that go wrong can shape me or scar me. However, I choose to live happy. My attitude has been affected by the traumatic brain injury I suffered, but still I have gratitude that I am alive. I could have been killed in the accident. TBI is a hard and lonely experience to go through, filled with disappointments and uphill battles, but sometimes in life, the most painful lessons are best remembered. TBI is like navigating the maze with a blindfold. My hope is that these words help you in some way, and that you believe you can and that you will have a fulfilling life. With TBI the chaos of life is often too much for my sensitive brain to handle. Doctor visits and hospital stays are their own trials with a brain injury. It doesn't have to be a battle. I just have to learn and adjust to the brain change. In 1969, as a brain injury survivor I was misunderstood. I was either dead or visibly disabled (speech or motion defects), or I was just fine. I fell into the "just fine" group. No instruction to see a neurologist or mental health professional, or counselor was given. No emphasis to medicate problems was given; of course, there was probably no medicine to prescribe that would help. The brain is the stuff in my skull. But the mind is a lot like the Internet, a map of information collected from all my experiences and interaction with other people. I have a lot more power to decide what and when I do life than I think. Most my experiences were formed after the accident as I was still developing experiences when the injury occurred because I was a young teenager. I was still learning who I was and how I fit into life. I make mistakes, however I thrive in my recovery by staying connected in my relationships and seeking solutions to the injury I suffered, working around the obstacles and setbacks I encounter. Through the process of looking in the rearview mirror of my life for the past 49+ years--looking at the triumphs, the hardships, the joys, the fears--I can see that life transcends traumatic brain injury. I have had many successes, many failures, made many mistakes, yet I keep moving forward.Brain injury is a hard and lonely experience to go through, filled with disappoointments and uphill battles, but sometimes in life, the most painful lessons are best remembered. Overcoming challenges is the fuel that keeps me going to reach the next level. Attempting to smooth out the potholes and rough spots makes life easier.

Download or read book In My Own Words written by Ted Goodrich and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ted Goodrich had everything going for him at age twenty-three, but he didn't realize it until it was all taken away. He had just finished playing in a softball game when he went home to get changed before meeting some friends. His friends wondered why he never showed up. They found out why when they learned he'd been found unconscious at the bottom of his apartment stairs. He had a fractured skull, severe brain swelling, and bleeding in and around his brain. Everyone thought he would die, including doctors who told his mom she may want to consider taking him off life support. But instead, she approved a risky surgery, and ten days after his accident, he woke up from a coma. But life was different: Goodrich had no memories and had to learn how to walk and talk again. His life became a never-ending series of sessions with physical therapists, speech therapists, and other specialists. Very few people are able to survive the type of accident that Goodrich endured, and those who do must learn to live a new life. Find out how he has endured in this story defined by faith, courage, love, and family. Forword Clarion Review: Goodrich's rocky road to recovery was miraculous. He died four times in the ambulance, and the doctors said the would either be in a coma forever or have significant brain damage. While he was unconscious, his mother approved a risky surgery to remove part of his skull; this left him with post-traumatic amnesia and years of therapy ahead of him. The story, which has all the makings of a Hollywood tearjerker. Kirkus Review: In telling his story, Goodrich has a tendency to overemphasize, unnecessary information, relating extensive medical explanations and tiny details from the scenes her re-creates. When those scenes of non-recognition and personal struggle get going, however, they can be candid, heartbreaking, and exceptionally insightful. His lucid descriptions often reveal an unexpected range of emotions that go far beyond the expected despair or determinations found in similar stories.

Download or read book League of Denial written by Mark Fainaru-Wada and published by Crown. This book was released on 2014-08-26 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The story of how the NFL, over a period of nearly two decades, denied and sought to cover up mounting evidence of the connection between football and brain damage “League of Denial may turn out to be the most influential sports-related book of our time.”—The Boston Globe “Professional football players do not sustain frequent repetitive blows to the brain on a regular basis.” So concluded the National Football League in a December 2005 scientific paper on concussions in America’s most popular sport. That judgment, implausible even to a casual fan, also contradicted the opinion of a growing cadre of neuroscientists who worked in vain to convince the NFL that it was facing a deadly new scourge: a chronic brain disease that was driving an alarming number of players—including some of the all-time greats—to madness. In League of Denial, award-winning ESPN investigative reporters Mark Fainaru-Wada and Steve Fainaru tell the story of a public health crisis that emerged from the playing fields of our twenty-first-century pastime. Everyone knows that football is violent and dangerous. But what the players who built the NFL into a $10 billion industry didn’t know—and what the league sought to shield from them—is that no amount of padding could protect the human brain from the force generated by modern football, that the very essence of the game could be exposing these players to brain damage. In a fast-paced narrative that moves between the NFL trenches, America’s research labs, and the boardrooms where the NFL went to war against science, League of Denial examines how the league used its power and resources to attack independent scientists and elevate its own flawed research—a campaign with echoes of Big Tobacco’s fight to deny the connection between smoking and lung cancer. It chronicles the tragic fates of players like Hall of Fame Pittsburgh Steelers center Mike Webster, who was so disturbed at the time of his death he fantasized about shooting NFL executives, and former San Diego Chargers great Junior Seau, whose diseased brain became the target of an unseemly scientific battle between researchers and the NFL. Based on exclusive interviews, previously undisclosed documents, and private emails, this is the story of what the NFL knew and when it knew it—questions at the heart of a crisis that threatens football, from the highest levels all the way down to Pop Warner.

Download or read book Hallucinations written by Oliver Sacks and published by Knopf Canada. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hallucinations, for most people, imply madness. But there are many different types of non-psychotic hallucination caused by various illnesses or injuries, by intoxication--even, for many people, by falling sleep. From the elementary geometrical shapes that we see when we rub our eyes to the complex swirls and blind spots and zigzags of a visual migraine, hallucination takes many forms. At a higher level, hallucinations associated with the altered states of consciousness that may come with sensory deprivation or certain brain disorders can lead to religious epiphanies or conversions. Drawing on a wealth of clinical examples from his own patients as well as historical and literary descriptions, Oliver Sacks investigates the fundamental differences and similarities of these many sorts of hallucinations, what they say about the organization and structure of our brains, how they have influenced every culture's folklore and art, and why the potential for hallucination is present in us all.

Download or read book Reset Your Child s Brain written by Victoria L. Dunckley, MD and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2015-06-23 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing numbers of parents grapple with children who are acting out without obvious reason. Revved up and irritable, many of these children are diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar illness, autism, or other disorders but don’t respond well to treatment. They are then medicated, often with poor results and unwanted side effects. Based on emerging scientific research and extensive clinical experience, integrative child psychiatrist Dr. Victoria Dunckley has pioneered a four-week program to treat the frequent underlying cause, Electronic Screen Syndrome (ESS). Dr. Dunckley has found that everyday use of interactive screen devices — such as computers, video games, smartphones, and tablets — can easily overstimulate a child’s nervous system, triggering a variety of stubborn symptoms. In contrast, she’s discovered that a strict, extended electronic fast single-handedly improves mood, focus, sleep, and behavior, regardless of the child’s diagnosis. It also reduces the need for medication and renders other treatments more effective. Offered now in this book, this simple intervention can produce a life-changing shift in brain function and help your child get back on track — all without cost or medication. While no one in today’s connected world can completely shun electronic stimuli, Dr. Dunckley provides hope for parents who feel that their child has been misdiagnosed or inappropriately medicated, by presenting an alternative explanation for their child’s difficulties and a concrete plan for treating them.

Book excerpt: THE Prime Minister is under house arrest. The army is in charge. Spies are everywhere, and if you question the government there's a good chance you'll end up in jail. This is Burma in the mid-2000s and Alison Winward is there. But even in such tough times, she finds, there is more to Burma than misery. There's the people, of course - resourceful, resilient, resistant. And then there are the 'sights' - the explosive popcorn factory, a monastery's "jumping cats" and ways of donating to the pagoda that can probably best be described as poetry in motion, to name just a few. Burma has changed considerably in recent years. This book offers a glimpse of how the country was when those changes were little more than a distant dream.

This book was released on 2018-12-05 with total page 996 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the increased public awareness of traumatic brain injury (TBI), the complexities of the neuropsychiatric, neuropsychological, neurological, and other physical consequences of TBI of all severities across the lifespan remain incompletely understood by patients, their families, healthcare providers, and the media. Keeping pace with advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and science of TBI, the Textbook of Traumatic Brain Injury, Third Edition, comprehensively fills this gap in knowledge. Nearly all 50 chapters feature new authors, all of them experts in their field. Chapters new to this edition include biomechanical forces, biomarkers, neurodegenerative dementias, suicide, endocrine disorders, chronic disease management, and social cognition. An entirely new section is devoted to the evaluation and treatment of mild TBI, including injuries in athletes, military service members and veterans, and children and adolescents. These chapters join newly updated sections on the assessment and treatment of the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and other physical sequelae of TBI. The Textbook of Traumatic Brain Injury is a must-read for all of those working in any of the multitude of disciplines that contribute to the care and rehabilitation of persons with brain injury. This new volume is also a potentially useful reference for policymakers in both the public and private sectors.
