Default "You look great!" Funny and informational TBI video

I came across this great TBI video made by a man in Massachusetts who suffered a mTBI from a whiplash injury. I have to admit, some of the scenes gave me headaches because he tries to depict so accurately all the ways are brains are getting overloaded and does so in very creative ways. I think it also resonated with me because i am from Massachusetts and spent most of my nursing career in some of the hospitals he mentions...along with some of the boston analogies he uses. its in 6 parts, hopefully these links work. Otherwise, try Youtube for "You look great. Inside a TBI". its broken down in 6 parts. Let me know what you think!

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability.
Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.

This is an outstanding set of YouTube videos. They tend to go slow but some of us need the 'slow.'

You can follow from #1 to #6 by selecting the 2 of 6 shown at the end of each chapter.

This can be a great way to explain your situation to friends and family.

The whole 6 YouTube videos take about an hour to watch.

Good one night nurse. I even laughed at the funny parts. Sure going to forward to friends and families and many of them still didn't get it after 2.5 years of my struggling.
