Like a snowflake: My experience and recovery from TBI

by Rodrick Frazier

This is my experience and recovery from severe traumatic brain injury. I bought a motorcycle on Saturday and wrecked on Sunday. I was in a coma for four weeks. After my coma, I had to relearn how to walk, talk, and eat again. Adjusting to my new normal was more challenging than anyone could have anticipated. I learned participating in rehab was critical to my recovery, but all brain injuries are different, and recovery is evasive. The goal of the survivor is to recover, but the path towards recovery can be different for everyone. My recovery was tied to being gainfully employed along with doing something familiar to my pre-accident occupation. This story details the challenges, accomplishments, disappointments, and exposure encountered during my road to recovery.
