Silver Linings

Before my husband's brain injury I was rather timid. After his surgery I found myself fighting for my family's survival financially and emotionally. I'm much stronger and assertive now, and I like myself this way. —Marilyn C.

New book to help brain injury families

Marilyn Colter   
February 09 2010

Garry Prowe has just released "Successfully Surviving a Brain Injury: a Family Guidebook." The book, the first in a series, is focused on issues "From the Emergency Room to Selecting a Rehabilitation Facility."  It's a great new edition to the list of books for caregivers. As a matter of fact, I think this book should be handed to families in any emergency room family waiting area when a brain injury patient has just been admitted. Garry has kept the first few chapters short, succinct and to the point. The facts he focuses on in the first few pages are often dealt with in a couple of paragraphs but they either answer the question a family member hasn't been able to get answered, or tells people how to find out the answer.  Most families in the first few days of dealing with brain injury won't be able to absorb any more than that information but will be grateful for the information. Especially good is the short list of "7 Reasons to be Encouraged." Check it out on our book reviews page.
