It's not perfect, nothing is perfect. Especially when it comes to brain injury because there is still little known about it. But, I'm sure everyone, from TBI/concussion survivors to caregivers will find something in there helpful.
I forgot to mention the part about reading it in one sitting. It's very lengthy and will most likely overload your systems if you try to read more than one chapter at a time. Find a chapter that interests you, read it and come back for more later.
Enjoy.

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.
Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.
Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.
Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
