Living with a brain injury and wanting things to be different is a recipe for frustration and bewilderment. A recipe leaving us asking “Why?” and “What Now?”.
Yesterday, October 11th I gave my presentation, “Neuroplasticity, Setting Goals and Creating Hope after Brain injury and Stroke” to the Chattanooga Area Brain Injury Association Support Group.
After my presentation, one of the participants asked a great question. A frequently asked question.
“How long will it take until I am able to get back to being able to do what I could before my brain injury?”
In response to the question, I do not feel as though I was able to answer the question given the limited amount of time. In brief, I shared with the participant that each individuals experience is different.
A Suggestion that May be Beneficial
As I suggested to the groups facilitator, in an email after the presentation, my presentation: “Acceptance and Creating Our New Normal after Brain Injury and Stroke” may be of benefit to group members.

In My Experience the Process just took Time and I am Glad I did not Give Up!

A way despite many set backs, frustrations, hard work, commitment and determination to succeed.
A New Medium
And once I found that way and started Second Chance to Live, I encountered more frustration.
