About

Brain Injury: Vertebral artery dissection affected the cerebellum and brain stem giving me two strokes in one weekend.

Explanation of Mask: Awareness is what it is all about: The black side represents the anger and frustration of having strokes, yet also teaches awareness of what to look for if you or a loved one, friend etc. might be having a stroke.  Also, the sticker at the top I thought really described me because after stroke I never did get back totally to my old self but created a new me.  With keeping some old traits too.  The white side represents life after stroke.  More feelings I have after stroke.  Usually these and somedays more added.
