The Smile on My Forehead

This book is my personal memoir of learning to accept my new injured self as I figure out the best way to manage life with a Traumatic Brain Injury. It starts like this: While driving west on Interstate 80 for my senior year at Brigham Young University my car tumbled five times into the median. I was unconscious on impact and I don't remember any part of the accident. My next clear memory is waking up on a hospital bed more than two months later wondering where I was and why I had a metal Halo Brace drilled into my skull. My family explained I'd fractured my neck both femurs and severely injured my brain in a car accident on my way back to college. I'm in college? I asked. And the rediscovery of myself began.
