Name: Chad G. (Mask 2)
Age: 42
City: Tucson, AZ
Brain Injury: FRONTAL LOBE DAMAGE
Explanation of Brain Injury: 16 ft. fall through a trucking terminal roof. Cracked my skull in various places and blood on brain.
Explanation of mask: My mask is a general look at me. The bright yellow side represents before. Life was more clear. I knew more of myself and how I felt my life was heading. The other side is similar, but more confusing, sometimes sad or angry, or whatever emotion is triggered. I’m fighting to be my old self, but I need to accept who I am now. Happy. Sad. Confused. Forgetful. Confused again. Every day is a struggle, but I will and am persevering. It’s okay to be conflicted.
