Brain Injury: Blunt force trauma from a metal beam at work.
Explanation of Mask: Powerless-you have to depend on everybody. You are at everyone’s mercy because you can’t take care of yourself, lose your independence. I’ve felt powerless with the insurance company, seeing lots of professionals who have lots of different opinions. Scared-to provide for my family and I have another baby on the way. I’m scared I won’t be able to teach him. My brain is different but I need to raise him. If I make a mistake, that comes back on me. Brown-in the muck, but it used to be black which was worse, when the accident first happened. Green-like a meadow, calm, quiet represents what I’m working toward.
