Brain Injury: Stroke

Explanation of Mask: Green eye shadow, blush and lipstick-I wore my make-up throughout my rehab. It was always important to me because it represents how “I am sill me.” Blue-represents losses. I am currently not able to volunteer or drive.  I was very active before the stroke. Red-Frustration. I am not able to walk and get around well.  It is hard to be dependent on others.Yellow-my progress and hope.

(Carin’s mask was not fully completed due to an unexpected hospitalization. She has planned to add eyelashes to represent her mascara and words and images from cards she received while in rehab.)
