I went out for a night out, wrong place at the wrong time, spent several days in a coma, a few more weeks in hospital and many years trying to recover - listen to the story of my journey and help yourself to your own recovery!

 

"I haven't broken a bone (well, I had, but.......!!)

 

•We all know the recovery path from breaking a bone!

• Break

• Plaster on

• Plaster off

• Physio

• Back to life!!

​

BUT WHO TRULY KNOWS THE RECOVERY FROM A BRAIN INJURY?? IT CHANGES FROM PERSON TO PERSON

​

Well, brain injury ISN’T a temporary break! Nor is "not all disabilities are visible" just a trendy catchphrase!!

 

THE AIM OF MY PRESENTATION:

•             To get people to understand that a brain injury is not like a “broken leg” and that it affects people and their loved ones in vastly different ways.

•             It talks about the emotional effects on the injured person and how it affects them, not only outwardly, but inwardly.

•             The talk is intended to give an insight into the emotions of a person, without sounding self-pitying, and the frustrations that exist, as well as the consequences of these frustrations

•             It aims to explain that we aren’t worried about death as such but want to live our lives and not just survive!

 

MY USP (why chose me to talk?): 

•             I’m speaking from the heart and my case is just mine, my situation is specific to me but my story cuts across many other stories.

•             But mainly I get IT (whatever IT is!!)

•             ITS REAL, NOT A THEORETICAL CASE HISTORY
