Embracing Hope After Traumatic Brain Injury : Finding Eden
Paperback Edition: 1
This important book provides a first-hand account from a university professor who experienced traumatic brain injury. It tells the story of Michael Arthur, who had recently accepted a position as vice principal of a new high school. After only two weeks on the job, he was involved in a car accident whilst driving through an intersection in northern Utah.
Through his personal account, he takes the reader into the dark interworking of his mind as he tries to cope with his new reality. He provides insight into how he learnt how to process information and even speak without stumbling on his words, whilst also sharing how his significant relationships suffered as he tried to navigate the restless seas of doubt while trying to circumvent his unyielding symptoms.
The book is about finding optimism and gaining insight into the struggles of the brain-injured patient and about trying to understand the perspectives of love-ones who cant quite grasp the idea of an invisible injury. From the sudden onset of garbled speech, to the challenges of processing information, the changing dynamic of the author's life is highlighted to help family members and healthcare workers better understand.
