I never knew what a brain injury was until I received one after my car accident. Brain injuries are not just for sports players and are quite common. Living with a brain injury has presented me with many challenges. I never understood what it was and how that changed who I am and neither did those around me. Three and a half years after I received it, we're still on our journey of learning about it and where it will bring me but I'm lucky to know three other people who have a brain injury and have helped me understand it and were able to relate to me.
With my brain injury I have encountered the following changes but brain injuries are not limited to these: - Sensitive hearing (I hear everything and it's very distracting) - Left pupil is permanently dilated - Short temper - Trouble saying words with a strong "i" sound - Mood swings - Migraines - Random and constant change in taste - Aphasia (word-finding difficulty) - Impulsive An enjoyable life can still be achieved with a brain injury but the person affected and those around them must understand their will be some changes to their personality and take the time to accept this new person. |
