Produktbeschreibung

As a two sport goalkeeper, ice hockey wing, trained Physician's Assistant, narrator for the Perkins Braille and Talking Book Library and mother of an amazing teenager, life as I knew it was destroyed at 9:30am 31Dec2009. It has been 14 years of a hell that Dante never knew existed, invisible disability in US, single Mum, post-concussion syndrome, The Cliff Effect, private to public health insurance, insecure housing, too many medical appointments to count. AND now I am finally to where I want to be, it is a freaking miracle and not a miracle because I have been working my ass harder than I ever did as a competitive amateur athlete, high achieving student, employee, mum, citizen, volunteer. I suffered a sports concussions on 31 Oct 2009 and then was disabled instantly on 31dec2009 when a truck rear ended my stopped Beetle convertible at high speed. Using therapeutic narrative letter writing between the Devastated Me, Current Me and Future Me, I restory myself as a TBI survivor. This is a sequel to Tell Me This: Encouragement & Hope After Brain Injury, published in 2013. Thanks to over a year of EMDR and getting off numerous medications, my brain is at least on now. I have finally reached a place where I can live independently with meaning as a self publishing writer, environmental & TBI advocate, with joy & gratitude radiating from my whole being. If I had only known that one day, even 14 years later I would have gotten here, I would not have suffered so much. I offer this restorying of myself in the hopes that it helps one person keep going for even one more hour.

Autorenporträt

originally from Madison, WI
With strength coach Eric Cressey, I was strong & quick, making it possible to become a handball goalkeeper for Boston Team Handball Club(fka The New England Freeze in 2009) First indoor competition had handball concussion 31Oct 09 & was rear-ended, another concussion 31Dec 09. Developed post-concussion syndrome, wrote Tell Me This: Encouragement and Hope After Brain Injury, pocket guide for those dealing with mTBI. Joined MIT BrainTrust as a survivor. Began speaking for the BIA-MA Ambassador program and advocating for brain injured athletes. With tech support from a MIT BrainTrust buddy, I started a YouTube channel Tell Me This in hopes to break the isolation of athletes struggling with post concussion syndrome and help others with their recovery around the world.
Writing Kempa Cambridge USA is in honor of my amazing experience with handball and my diverse international teammates of BTH. As a former soccer goalkeeper and ice hockey player, handball is my all time sports zenith. I never felt more alive than when I was in the handball goal. It's a fantastic sport & I hope that it catches on like wild fire overtaking American Football. Everywhere else in the world it's handball, as everywhere else soccer is football. The athleticism is phenomenal...you have GOT to see this game! And the goalkeepers.....I love them ALL.
Writing foi&GRACE is in dedication to all who are working to save our planet, save folks with post-concussion syndrome/sequela, save our sanity...a new eSeries about a multiple concussed, disabled female athlete and her MassGeneral Hospital ER Physician's Assistant roommate, navigating their personal/global challenges with humor, faith and grace & engaging all around them to be "All In" to save our glorious planet-NOW!
