Gracefully Diminished: Living with a Traumatic Brain Injury outlines what I what learned through hundreds of doctor appointments, tests and therapy sessions. I'm not a doctor - just someone that was hit by a shuttle bus while walking across the street and was able to eventually find peace and happiness. Hopefully this will help someone achieve Peace a little bit quicker, or help a friend or family member gain some Understanding. Maybe someone will learn they aren't alone… that others have gone through something similar and found a good outcome. This is my mantra: Understand. Accept. Live Gracefully.
