Today Kezia and Carrie talk with Jeni from the Brain Injury Network of Dallas (BIND). She shares her experience of suffering two concussions while working as a teacher. Her journey for recovery included difficulties in memory and recall, balance, speech, planning, slowness in answering questions, walking, shopping, and other physical activities. Jeni acknowledges that she has a long way to go, but has acquired a keen interest in becoming a social worker, specifically to help others with brain injuries. Her goal in life is to spread the word that survivors are never alone, and should take people at their word about their progress.
