This important book presents a unique, personal account of the
impact a mild traumatic brain injury can have. It tells the story
of Pauline, who was 33 when a late football tackle caused a bleed
in her brain which went undiscovered for 18 months. The account
includes descriptions of hidden symptoms of concussion and
post-concussion syndrome, pitfalls in diagnoses, the uneven
progress of recovery and the effect of the varied reactions which
others have to an acquired brain injury. The author incorporates
memories alongside extracts from clinic notes, diary entries and
emails to reflect the disjointed progress of diagnosis and recovery
as- although similar- no two head injuries are the same. Through
this book, the reader gains an appreciation of the confusion
experienced by many brain injury survivors, which sheds light on
why some may develop unusual behavior or mental health issues, and
how such issues can be alleviated. Brain injuries are poorly
understood by the general public and this can lead to difficult
interactions. Moreover, complications in diagnosis means some may
not realize they have this milder form of brain injury. This book
will enlighten brain injury survivors and affected families and
allow professionals an insight into their patients' experiences. As
concerns grow over the risks which contact sports pose, this book
shows how even mild brain injuries can wreak havoc with careers,
relationships and one's sense of self, but that a happy life can
still be found.
