Brain Injury: WIFE/CAREGIVER OF BILL NEWLIN TBI SURVIVOR My husband fell while ice skating and had 5 hospital stays in 2 months.They drilled holes in his head to relieve blood and he later needed a craniotomy. One year later he was hospitalized with trigeminal neurology. Bill has constant daily headaches and anxiety.
Explanation of mask: Life dealing with TBI is a stormy sea sometimes, but with the light from the sun breaking thru there is HOPE. I am grateful that it is not worse. Bill lives with daily pain and what he describes as a “crazy spinning feeling.” It is sadly overwhelming sometimes.
