Brain Injury: Motor Vehicle Accident in 2013

Explanation of Mask: At first, my brain was empty of any thoughts as I was in a coma.  Then I awakened and had partial thoughts.  I put the muddied grey spot in the middle as I still sometimes get muddled in my thoughts, but most the time I am okay.  Fatigue is an issue with me so I put the anti-fatigue sign. I used to do everything quickly, but now I cannot rush either physically or mentally, so I put the Red Hot Rush sign upside down.  Somehow my brain transposes my thoughts and the exact opposite comes out of my mouth.  Overall I am happy so I painted the face with happy colors (yellow and sky blue).  I used to just move from point A to point B and get things done, and not noticing anything in-between, but now I do. Life and nature are beautiful!
