Publisher's Synopsis
In 1981, Karen Wilson suffered a traumatic brain injury when her husband, irate that she flushed his drugs down the toilet, smashed her face into the bathroom sink and nearly strangled her to death. This groundbreaking book details Karen's struggles to cope with the effects of her undiagnosed TBI. Karen was forced to abandon her career in nursing and struggled with organization, simple math, memory, and emotional distress until 17 years later, in 1998, a neurologist figured out her problem was not mental illness but blunt force trauma damage to the frontal lobes of her brain.
