How do you explain an invisible brain injury to someone
when you look like you’re doing fine?

In May 2018, a compressed air accident at the dentist
sent me home with a brain injury.
My 31-year career as an occupational therapist was over.
Welcome to life in Shitville.
Living with brain injury and reading about it in textbooks
were not the same thing.

I hope to provide family members,
friends, coworkers, professionals, caregivers, anyone,
with insights into the daily struggles of living
with brain injury while looking normal.

I hope the easy-to-read layout
will help others with visual processing difficulties
to read about brain injury.

This is a story about the grueling stages of anger,
frustration, grief, and sadness to find the new “you”.
It took a 9,461-mile solo road trip and time away from home
to find my new identity, meaning, and purpose in life.
