Nothing teaches you this more than brain injury. #biau #braininjury #braininjuryawareness

What do you wish was better understood about brain injury? #brainstormforbraininjury #braininjury #braininjuryawareness #braininjurycaregiver #braininjurysurvivor #braininjurylife #braininjuryproblems #invisibledisability #braininjuryresilience

This was something that saved me, especially in the beginning of brain injury life. It felt like forever but it never actually lasted that long. So if today is that day, it's almost over and there will possibilities tomorrow.

Do you think this is why those around us demand that we be who we were before brain injury too? It would be too hard, too inconvenient, to uncomfortable for them to help? Exercise patience? It's too bad there are so many living in this situation. That's why we need each other

The concept of neurorehabilitation is pretty daunting. Don't look at the whole process. Good therapists can help you break it down into small, manageable steps. Focus on the step on front of you. #neurorehabilitation #itsworthit #braininjury #braininjuryawareness #biau

There's lots of therapy after #braininjury. You need to feel good about the providers you are teaming with. These questions will give you an idea of things to consider with any provider #braininjury #braininjuryawareness #mentalhealth #therapy #lifeistherapy #biau

Recovery after brain injury is a long process. Rarely is it a simple or direct process. Nothing about living brain injury life is straight forward. There's frustration, set backs, uncertainty, confusion. So take today to be proud of what you've accomplished!

How can you support #braininjury awareness? If UR a survivor, caregiver, share your story. If you know a #survivor, ask them w/genuine interest. Become educated on what brain injury is, causes, prevalence, rehabilitation. Donate to a charity that serves the brain injured

Brain injury can make you feel like you are less. Less than everything but especially less of you. You are brave, capable and significant even if you don't feel ir or it seems like brain injury took it #biau #braininjury #braininjuryawareness #brave

Never appreciated the gift that a day is until I knew that a day w/o someone is such a real possibility. #Braininjury almost took them away. Even though life since injury is different & can be harder, I'm grateful for the gift of a #GoodMorningTwitterWorld

The human is truly miraculous. A person can take something as catastrophic as brain injury and still find meaning and turn a tragedy into a beautiful life. #miracle #miraculous #biau #braininjury #braininjuryawareness

I hate brain injury. But it did make me a better person. I'm more patient. I'm more compassionate. I'm less judgemental. I want to help more people. I am more proud of who I am now than I ever was before. From a brain injury survivor #humble #biau #braininjury

There are good days and bad days and then there are brain injury bad days. It's ok to honor your brain and body and rest. Don't judge yourself for your bad days. Let it pass and then move on #braininjury #braininjuryawareness #biau #badday

How remarkably true. Hope will get you moving. You have to get moving to make any progress in neurorehabilitation #hope #hopeandhealing #biau #braininjury #braininjuryawareness

Brain injuries have consequences! Sometimes they are longterm. Sometimes they are permanent Understanding how to work around these things after brain injury is vital to living your best post injury life. #biau #braininjury #invisibledisability #braininjuryresilience

Sometimes we have to make our own optimism cuz it won't find us on its own #braininjury #braininjuryawareness #optimism #biau

There is no such thing as "just a #concussion." A concussion is a #braininjury. That is NEVER insignificant. All concussions can have long term consequences. Identifying symptoms and getting appropriate treatment matters #ptsd #braininjurylife #braininjuryproblems #biau

That's a scary headline. Are concussion protocols enough? We don't know. But we never want to see someone living with permanent consequences #brainstormforbraininjury #braininjury #braininjuryawareness #invisibledisability #braininjuryresilience #biau #concussion

Just because there's no visual indicator doe brain injury doesn't mean it isn't a legitimate disability. Brain injury is the invisible disability. #Braininjury #braininjuryawareness #biau #invisibledisability #disability #disabilityawareness

Neurorehabilitation seems a daunting task. And it certainly can be. Don't worry, one step at a time is all it takes #neurorehabilitation #braininjury #braininjuryawareness #progress #biau
