I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow to replace the skull piece that was removed about six months ago. As I have been preparing for surgery, I have been thinking about why I started my blog. According to the CDC, over 1.7 million people sustain a Traumatic Brain Injury each year. That is an amazing number when compared to cancer, HIV/AIDs and spinal cord injuries. With so many people affected by TBI, I feel very strongly that it is important for victims, families, caretakers and friends to share their stories. Like so many other illnesses, no one expects to have it happen to them and when it does the ability to access information and resources related to TBI is invaluable.
If you are reading this blog, and have been through similar challenges it would be great if you would comment and share your story. Sharing your personal experiences is very helpful to me and others dealing with TBI issues. It is important to know that you are not alone.
Wishing everyone a great week!
