Brain Injury: TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI)

Explanation of Brain Injury:  While in Portland, O.R. in 1999, I was in a crosswalk and struck by a drunk driver. I was in a coma for 2 ½ months and then spent the next 6 months in 3 different hospitals recovering. But, I needed no walking aids upon my return home to Sandpoint, Idaho.

Explanation of mask:  I depicted myself and the two halves. Since my brain injury, I feel TORN. I have lost most of my past life. I have had to work to re-create myself in a way. It has been VERY HARD!
