Publisher's Synopsis
Life can change in an instant; one bad decision can change the course of a life forever. Everyone deserves a day off, right-a much-needed day off that provides a little relief from a very busy schedule. But what if that day changes everything and your life is never the same? My Invisible Injury shares author Katie Patterson's inspiring story of a life now changed after one fateful day, when she took a chance and suffered a traumatic brain injury. Katie chronicles her life since an accident caused not only major trauma to her brain but also severe injuries to her left leg. She recalls three years of recovery, lots of rehabilitation, and countless surgeries-remembering both her good days and bad days. She shares the struggles she encountered throughout her recovery-the months of aggressive therapy, surgeries, and hospitalization. My Invisible Injury illustrates the sheer power of Katie's determination to recover-the strength to overcome her injuries and grow as a person. By learning how to deal with the challenges that are associated with such a devastating injury, Katie has found the way back to her life.
