Life With a Traumatic Brain Injury: Finding the Road Back to Normal

Life With a Traumatic Brain Injury: Finding the Road Back to Normal

Winner of the Midwest Book Awards in the "Health" category receiving a silver medal in May 2016.
In February 2014 Amy Zellmer slipped on a patch of ice and fell, forcibly landing on the back of her skull. The impact briefly knocked her out, and when she started to get up, she immediately knew something was very wrong.
Amy had suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and was about to start a journey unlike anything she had ever experienced. Her life had changed in literally a blink of the eye.Â

This book is a collection of her short articles, most of which were originally published on The Huffington Post.
Â Learn about what it means to have a TBI as you read about her struggles and frustrations, like the days she can't remember how to run the microwave, or how she gets lost driving to familiar places. Understand what it's like to suffer fatigue and exhaustion after doing a simple task that most take for granted.This book is perfect for TBI survivors, their caregivers, friends and loved ones.Â
It is a great book for survivors to give to their supporters so that they, too, can understand what those with TBI are dealing with on a daily basis. Â
