Prognosis: A Memoir of My Brain (Kindle Edition) - Review

When I saw the title of this book, I was intrigued, but then when I read the description, I knew I needed to read it. In 2011 I was diagnosed with a mild TBI. So, I really wanted to read Sarah’s story. I can say without a doubt that it’s the closest thing I’ve ever read to my own experience. There are only a handful of books that once I’ve picked them up I couldn’t put them down, this was one of those books. I started it in the morning and finished by bedtime.
Sarah also taught me some things about myself that I’ve been questioning for a while. After reading her experiences, I see that those things in me are also from my brain injury. I, too, have been encouraged by my neurologist to “keep writing.”
I truly related to this story, and I will be recommending it to everyone who asks me how I live with a brain injury.
Sarah, thank you for writing. I can’t say how many times I cried while reading your words because I could relate 100%. Thank you for sharing your story and being so open and frank about everything
