Traumatic Brain Injury-Concussion with Compassion

Years and even today, a simple blow to the head would be ice on the injury and not the person to sleep until the shot was not to know what is meant by the invisible wounds. Some call it an emotion, but what is hidden in traumatic brain injury or TBI. Not all blows or blows to the head resulting from TBI. It is invisible, and most people do not know that there are up to qirreale u'ils tried the simplest tasks in life quotidiana, but I can not understand why certain things are not in a position to do so. The family and friends can not see the characters from the outside, but inside the brain has suffered an injury that is a fact that has always lived with.

After the first signs of brain injury survivors should consult a doctor immediata close monitoring and pPerson must be monitored to see if it changes in your dailys life or behavior. Headache, frustratisobre, confusion, word search, problem solving, lack of attention, not to stay in conversation and are looking forward to a few symptoms. As a mentor for a TBI victim can assure you that the compassion and patience during the recovery.

An accident is what caused that queques life has changed, as I know, ID first. On the outside everything seems normal, back-neck pain and appeared kurz after the incident, but do not know what the explanation ldebajo in the brain has not happened for months. I began to notice a lack of attention to the behavior of my wife. The search has become a problem that does not realize what had happened until I said something quandociò, their level of frustration and comportementment changed. I was dieserSymptome over time until the end, we realized that we were not the only ones who lived. We  have focused on traumatic brain injury and receive the necessary support to return to life somewsombrero a trace. We agreed that our lives will never be back on things, but have and learn more about TBIogni day.

Recovery may be weeks or months to return years in some cases, entirely or partially of what undra lost. Preparing for the worst and hope and pray for the best when the recovery process is underway. Training for familiesmembers and friends what is happening and what to expect when searching for books and knowledge of sources you can trust. Read books and stories about the survivors of brain injury are not only the case is unique and is not there to relax. Your compassion and understanding of victims needs an assistant, not only to help, but to help you.

Here are some surprising facts that have been under investigation von TBI:

There are 1.4 million people with a TBI in the United States each year. 1.4 million:
50,000 die
235,000 are Osospedalizzazione
1.1 million are treated and released at
The number of people with TBI who are not in operation or not at all emergency treatment is not known.

As you can see, the appearance of a person receiving a höhererstite of traumatic brain injury does not tell the true story of what's inside. Traumatic brain injury, emotion compassion can only be done by those who love, care, and are willing to consacrer time and effort pourcomprendre ... they are not alone.

In a first step, however, there are some answers, because nobody really knows. "No two brain damage are the same, you say. To say this is not to answer. What to do when life as we knew that these changes? At this point you can not see light at the end of the tunnel, and is Not sure obwird never again.
I received a call to the lives of less than two hours after my partner left our house on his motorcycle. It was a call you no longer wish to receive. Guide to the emergency room, cried many tears and prayed, as I tried to flow. When I arrived, the social worker took me to an empty space family. I was told that it is stabilizing deiE him a lot of blood lost. He said there were moltVerwundete, and his head injury and a doctor to talk to me before. Alone in the room, my only company was the shocking idea that plagued my thoughts, one after another, until my family to arrive. During this terrible time, I understood what I was lucky that so many fans.

When the tragedy happened, and after the initial shock, most people cherchent hope. They want confirmation that their love on the bbest to get things back the way it is. Neither doctors nor enfermerasgarantía it is like in the future. At the beginning, with swelling of the brain and in most cases the bleeding is difficult to assess the severity of brain injury. It was shearing of the brain, and my companion told me not to know until you go back and talk.

During this time, jequestions and realized that the questions I asked about the various points dder that I havehis injury and his prognosis for recovery. It was not my hope concompañero performance in the first month.

After closing the wound, there will be many concerns. You need to express what they can do their best to help a family member is well again. I found the majority of doctors are accessibilitélui and listens to my concerns and help to find a solution. But I had the Anwendungde.

For two weeks after his accident, knew  I know that our life has changed. He was awake, but with photography I realized that I had lost ten years of his memory. The fear is that we have not seen each other for ten years before. But it is interesting because the brain is so impressive, most of the time, I read that my name was called quandat.

With increasingly longer sleep was the confusion and anger. The restrictions were necessary. The TangenSie was that what he said has no Grundlage in reality. Must be a nanny because she refused to do what he has said and tries to sutubos time. There were many visitors who do not recognize, and some were friends years ago. Costume pictures and texts personalipresso hospital thought it could be your memory. Coscomme some of it seemed to work, and many do not. About six weeks after his injury, he Finalmentund realized what years - for the most part, I was told several times. Fortunately, it was noh and improved, and when they arrived at the hospital, was able to remember that many things, ten years of memory loss.

There is no doubt that the first year is very difficilema tragedy will not disappear. Try mieuxr so that it can help your loved ones. One of the main things that I know from my research in the early months was that the first after an injury to the patient can do cognitive exercises, the best forecast for the Erholung be. I tried all day to deal with these exercises, how often verbally abusive. But I firmly believe in the value of my claim alla exercises and full credit to them that raraison why is my spouse, as it is today. As a result, they found a light at the end of the Tunn.

Brain Injuries and Motivation

Lack of motivation is often one of the shortcomings of the lesion of the frontal lobes of the brain. This is a monumental task groped to find someone motivated to do something if it really wants nothing to do. E 'is particularly difficult if you do not want the motivation. It is how to beat a dead horse. "No matter how you raise the dead horse, can not get up.
In the first year after my partnersostenuto his anger Gehirnverletzungebrali, life is an Achterbahn. At the end of this first year, but is less confusing for the duration of the infringement, its mood is improving slowly but gradually more aware of their deficit.

Head injury is a disability that is a person in a way that it sometimes seem to others lazy. This apparent laziness is the result of a lack of motivation. With frontalespesso lobe damage along the expérienceou deficit with the concomitant inability to plan in advanceout. They also have a bad record. For this reason, lack of motivation can be an important concern for family members.

My companion, in his second year after the accident, had no interest in doing something. For most of his days sitting on the sofa and fell asleep on and off, with the possibility of a game of Solitaire. E 'annoiatoux. If I proposeles evidence möglichewerden is, he had no desire to try.

I remember, wenn one of my children was ten months, has no desire to learn to crawl. It is quite easy and comfortable, content to sit and watch the world from its application in this field. But he drew it in the budgie cage. One day I took the bird in a cage on the floor, as in the scan mode and was switched off. I esameiné as I könntein some of this knowledge with my partner. Hope should be the motivating factor.

As Liebhaber of lists, I have a list of things that are not happy. After a series of tasks that are now options. A list is a beginning and an end, he was able to go through the process. The result is a feeling of achievement. The idea, its a little help "with his lack of motivation.

Even some effort is an important Schrittfür those who lack déficitmotivation. Their efforts should be supported and encouraged. And if all is well läuft, stay calm and not react, not to forget for one day at a time. These are small steps toward recovery.
