Overview

ONE HELL OF A RIDE Surviving my Concussion Also Known As A Mild Traumatic Brain Injury The book is very much an eye opener and does exactly what the author set out to do: offer a very personal and highly practical insight to the victims and loved ones suffering the torment of a mild traumatic brain injury.

At the time he had recently regained the ability to read and write but had little memory and thought it would be a good idea to write things down in case he regressed and lost the chance. The letter founded a journal, the journal fathered this book. This book is exceptionally well written, instantly capturing the reader with an extremely personal description of the often completely misunderstood struggles one faces while dealing with the loss of emotional responsiveness, impaired cognitive abilities, time loss and physical hardships.
