Author Lynda McGuirk has survived a near death experience on her way home from work and today lives to tell her story with the hopes of helping others along the way. Here McGuirk shares her heart in writing this book: "My wish is to provide tools for anyone who has experienced the miracle of survival and who is living with TBI to survive the process of recovery and then acquire (or relearn) The elements essential to thrive. " it would be an icy day in January 2003 that her car would hit a telephone pole and she would battle for her life in a medically induced coma for six weeks. Her traumatic brain injury(TBI) would require seven years of recovery – physical therapy, outpatient rehabilitation and the relearning of the basics including walking and balancing.
Though the outer healing is difficult enough, she states that what persists is the massive course of healing from the inside out. It would be the support of her community, friends, and family that would be paramount in aiding her in her needs. Independent by nature, a challenge would be in learning to ask for help. Journey with her as she regains a sense of her identity and individuality. Though she declares the obstacles of this condition, "… difficult barriers erected by TBI became permanent residences on the property of your life", it would be her perseverance that would win out as today she owns her own small business.
The reader will gain more awareness of the importance exercise and good nutrition play in recovery and pictures of various stretches are shown to help with balance issues. This will be a helpful resource if you especially know and/or work with someone that has TBI.
