Hello Warriors and Battle Buddies!
Welcome to A BATTLE WITHIN, Episode 086,
A BATTLE WITHIN is about our life experiences and those of our guests living with and healing from Traumatic Brain Injuries with an emphasis on the Post Concussion Syndrome otherwise known as (PCS) The conversations are real, raw and uncensored from both the warrior and caregiver perspectives.
It is our desire that this platform be a useful way to create awareness around the invisible injury. We aim to help those in the battle, whether that is you the Warrior or you the Battle Buddy by offering the stories and resources we have found along the way in our own journey.
This happily married couple of over 50 years had their worlds turned upside down in 2005.
David experiences a brain injury which lead to 3 Brain Surgeries in 2 weeks. He is still working on his recover today.
After David was more or less out of the woods they became very active in the TBI community. Donna developed a blog, They speak whenever they can on the topic, Donna hosts a radio show which airs bi-monthly and has written a book about their story with David acting as the editor.
