Book Reviews of Living with Brain Injury: A Guide for Families, Second Edition
Book Review: Amazon must read for anyone with or dealing with someone with a brain injury, should also buy "Where is the Mango Princess"
Summary: 5 Stars
This book should be required reading for anyone working with patients that have suffered any type of brain injury. I read this before my own brain injury and what I learned helped me recover faster then anyone has in the rehab I was in. As a matter of fact the shortest 'normal' stay is 3 to 6 months, I was only there a month. I have a long way to go to full recovery but with the help of these books I feel I will do more then anyone expected, actully I am already doing that.
Another great book to read for families or loved ones is "where is the Mango Princess" If you can read this to the person that suffered the brain injury, it will help everyone understand that the person that had the injury is not doing things to hurt anyone, that even a 'minor' brain injury has effects that are not totally understood. This book was written by the wife of a man that suffered a tramatic brain injury. Reading this book has helped me to understand the reasons for many of my problems, and actions. Of course knowing is not a cure but it helps to know that there is hope.
I have bought and sent copies to the rehab I was in for them to read and share that is how much these books impressed me.
