DESCRIPTION:
"Great read." according to Heather A. Cornwell. I too had a brain injury and this book confirms that the way I act and feel, well I am not alone. GREAT read. LOVE it!. Thank you Claudia I have only gotten to the 9th chapter and words cannot describe how wonderful this book is! I hope to meet Ms. Osborne and thank her myself for putting into words some experiences, thoughts, and feelings I've had since my accident. I can't finish this book fast enough so I can let my wife read it so she can understand things I haven't been able to describe! Thank you Claudia!. Four Stars Bought it for my wife She really liked it. She also had a head injury
Her progression from confusion, dysfunction, and alienation to a full, happy life is told with restraint, great style, and considerable humor.. For years she was deprived of her intellectual companionship and the ability to handle the simplest undertakings like shopping for groceries or sorting the mail. Over My Head is an inspiring story of how one woman comes to terms with the loss of her identity and the courageous steps (and hilarious missteps) she takes while learning to rebuild her life. Locked inside a brain-injured head looking out at a challenging world is the premise of this extraordinary autobiography. The author, a 45-year-old doctor and clinical professor of medicine, describes the aftermath of a brain injury eleven years ago which stripped her of her beloved profession
