About

Brain Injury: Post concussive syndrome secondary to motor vehicle accident while working in the back of an ambulance as a paramedic.

Explanation of Mask: The blue is the EMS color because I got hurt whole working as a paramedic and my work was a lot of my life.  Blue is also a calming color. One eye is closed and one eye is open to represent the anger and sadness I tried to keep inside but I can now see things getting better and I am letting go of anger.  The string represents how I used to not to talk to anyone about my injury, trying to keep it hidden as well as possible. Safety pins represent my opening up and beginning to share.
