Brain Jolt

Everyday "normal" life is a mix of swirling mental, emotional, physical and spiritual components. How does this change with a severe injury I had a stable, normal life until a "minor" motor vehicle accident, a serious neck injury, a traumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress disorder threw me into an alternate state of reality. The Workers Comp system, a physician unable to recognize or diagnose my injuries, and my employer's insurance carrier who automatically assumes fraud are my antagonists and further devastate me. My life and my family life will never be the same. Despite all this, I overcame, healed and went back to working in my profession (RN) with the help of alternative medicine, a Native American Indian healer and Spirit. My story is very unique and it is written to encourage, educate and to give hope to others (patients as well as care givers), who are on the TBI and/or PTSD road to recovery.
