Brain Injury: Hemorrhagic Stroke/Ruptured Aneurysm

Explanation of Mask: Most important things to me: what occurs, how I react.  The blue side represents the challenges as a result of the injury: memory loss, loss of relationships with friends/family, brain pains, self-doubt.  The yellow represents how I combat: God, my faith, husband, new experiences, encouraging others. Surviving a rupture is an invisible disability, which few choose to recognize as a real disease.  Thankful for each day.
