Your sites and videos are helpful and informative.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><em>\u00a0My husband sustained a serious brain injury in 2003 as the result of a still unknown hit-and-run driver who turned left in front of him as he was on his motorcycle. Fortunately, Ken was wearing a good helmet, which saved his life and saved him from worse injury. His brain scans showed no injury, despite its severity (originally diagnosed as moderate to severe).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><em>\u00a0Since that time, he has recovered with only a few deficits, and I created a journaling workshop for people with brain injury. I&#8217;ve facilitated it twice annually since 2007 here in Tucson, at a HealthSouth hospital here. Out of that workshop came my book, &#8220;After Brain Injury: Telling Your Story,&#8221; co-authored with my husband&#8217;s speech therapist. It&#8217;s the first journaling book for people with brain injury, I&#8217;m proud to say.
