Publisher's summary

Often misdiagnosed and misunderstood, traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be a life-altering event that can produce a wide range of symptoms affecting physical, as well as psychological health. Indeed, all senses can be affected, especially sight and sound, producing errors in judgment, loss of memory, and difficulty processing information.

Now, a physician shares her personal journey with TBI after suffering a life-changing accident. In this touching and informative book, Dr. Chrisanne Gordon chronicles her struggles - the high points as well as the lows - as she is challenged to make sense of what happened and realizes that her medical training did not prepare her for these struggles. With intimate detail she explains what it is like to have mild TBI, how it affected her life, and what was needed for healing and recovery.

Perhaps, most importantly, Turn the Lights On! is a beacon of hope and understanding for anyone who has experienced a mild traumatic brain injury or concussion, and a guide for their loved ones, caregivers, and healthcare providers who assist with their recovery.

Illuminating.

As the mother of a child who suffered a TBI, this filled in so many gaps into the “why” of actions, emotions, and recovery the injured endures. It has been more than a decade, and in many ways the progress was similar. The emotions I felt while reading this were almost a PTS for the struggle to survive as a caregiver. Thanks you for writing this. God Bless you.
