Concussion can feel lonely & isolating. It can be hard for other people to understand and sometimes even harder to explain your experience 🤕
This is one of the reasons we share people's stories; the up's, down's and successes.
Lydia sustained a concussion after a car accident which subsequently affected her job as a NICU nurse and her passion for ice skating.
“The most difficult thing about recovering from concussion is the patience you need,” Lydia says. “When I was really deep in my recovery, I felt like I lost the joyful part of myself. I’m usually a very happy, energetic and positive person... so it feels great to be recovered and have the same zest for life I had pre-injury.”
