Today, February 6, 2018 marks the 11th year anniversary of Second Chance to Live.
If you are not familiar with my process my traumatic brain injury (open and depressed skull fracture, right frontal lobe dame, a severe brain bruise with brain stem involvement and a left femur (thigh bone) fracture occurred in 1967 in a motor vehicle accident.
I remained in a coma for 3 weeks when I was 10 years old and was not expected to succeed beyond high school academically.
In my experience, once my external wounds healed I unknowingly grew up with the impact of an invisible disability long before traumatic brain injury or the concept of an invisible disability was understood. Consequently, I lived in the denial of what I and family members did not understand.
