About

City: Fargo

Brain Injury: Had 3 head injuries as child from falls. I have had numerous brain injuries, first one as adult 2-23-1983; and then none until about 2008. I ran into my garage door in 2010 and was seeing stars then 2012 ran back of combine and and part injured me by hitting in head; then 2013 MVA.

Explanation of Mask: My addiction to alcohol I thought was my problem, and then I was run over by motorcycle. Medical doctors told me I was crazy so I was depressed, drank, and then found recovery of alcohol. But still had fog and crazy feelings, then had the accidents in 2012 and 2013 and meeting Nan gave me a new outlook on recovery. Glasses from Dr. Edwards, talking about how I feel I realized that I have had a TBI for 33 years and now see hope.
