You will walk away with a better understanding of what it's truly like to walk in the shoes of a brain injury survivor.As a brain injury survivor there are so many things I want people to know about me. I am so much more than what you think you see. My disability is invisible so therefore I've taken the time to share with you some of the things I think you need to know.Just because I have a brain injury doesn't mean that I can't live a productive life. Yea, it's a life filled with challenges beyond your wildest dream. However, it's my life and I am grateful to be here! Each day I try to forget what I may have lost and concentrate, appreciate, and give thanks for what I now have. Surviving what was supposed to kill me gives me chills every time I think about it. I know God has so much in store for me. I'm a survivor. Not because I am alive, but because I wake up each day grateful for the chance to do what I may not have been able to do the day before. Just because I have a brain injury, doesn't mean that because each day I am learning to live as someone different I can't embrace the new me. I GOT THIS!
