City: Albuquerque

Brain Injury: My traffic lane had come to a stop as the on ramp was backed up. I suffered a concussion when I was rear-ended. The velocity was such that both trucks were totaled. 

Explanation of Mask:  I still feel that my skull is misshaped, my head feels distorted and my mind is fragmented. I sit staring and thinking nothing and then I find myself crying. I am otherwise optimistic and joyous. Sometimes I am subjected to anxiety attacks and wake up from a sound sleep feeling terror and disoriented. Sometimes I get so heavy and weary that I crawl into bed and pass out into sleep.
