ABSTRACT
A survivor of a traumatic brain injury makes sense of his injury and reflects on the unique individuality of injury.
Notes
1. I want to thank my family, Dr. Joseph Bianco, Dr. Laura Ellingson, and two anonymous reviewers for helping me control this story’s lack of linearity.
2. The Brain Injury Association of America (Citation2011) has defined a TBI “as an alteration in brain function, or other evidence of brain pathology, caused by an external force.” It has been estimated that of 1.7 million people who suffer a TBI in the United States annually, 275,000 are hospitalized (Faul, Xu, Wald, & Coronado, Citation2010).
