City: Asheville

Brain Injury: Traumatic motorcycle accident when someone pulled out in front of me.  I fractured my scapula, C6 and C7 and a compound fracture on both sides of my right ankle.

Explanation of Mask: This explains how my temperament has changed.  During times of stress, I am frustrated and confused and fear kicks in.  Calmness is a result of not feeling stressed, along with being hopeful and clear minded.  The red represents anger and the green represents growth.  I feel like I am pulled in between fear and hope.  Traumatic brain injury is a duplicitous state, the letting go of the old me and embracing the new me.
