Name: Charles H.

City: Ketchikan

Brain Injury: Motorcycle accident 3-10-2010  

Explanation of Mask: Making new memories is hard and frustrating.  It is also harder to comprehend and retain details.  Distractions and brain energy can cause me to forget a person’s name or what I was currently thinking.  The top of mask is my brain energy used to question my environment. Confusion that comes with it. “Stop” my constant dizziness and seizures.  Zzzz  is how tired my brain becomes  over stimulated each day.  Right side of face is the empathy and compassion I have gained for people with disabilities.  I am happy with recovery I have achieved and continue to gain.  Left side is the frustration over what I was and who I am now.
