[2 of 6] "You Look Great!" : Inside a TBI

Part Two:
The First Month [1], Casualties of War, CAT, EEG, MRI, IED, Wabbits, Egrets, Hawks

This video, You Look Great! Inside a Traumatic Brain Injury, tells the story of trying to recover from an injury that in some ways is invisible to the outside world. My hope is that fellow sufferers find comfort that they are not alone in their injury, and that they learn ways of describing what theyre going through to their families, friends, and caregivers.

This video is very helpful in expressing what it's like to have a brain injury and the important process called healing. Thank you for posting this very inspiring message!

You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful. My son Chris and I will begin working on a sequel early next year. Stay tuned!

Thank you so much for posting this. I've been dealing with a concussion for 7+ months now, and been dealing with a lot of emotional issues and the amount of symptoms have taken a toll on me.

I showed this series of videos to my family and they're starting to understand what I've been going though...

Thanks for posting.

I went to an ER & got a CT scan (no insurance). Now I've been learning that CT doesn't show all, as you stated.

I had a concussion a month ago, followed by headaches & diziness. No memory/speech issues (thank God).

I've read it can last from a week to a month, but can last longer (2-3 months).

I'm a bit depressed because of the pain, and that it was my fault (stupid sneeze, and accidentally hitting my head on a wood chair back).
