Description
`The writer gives invaluable insights into his journey, for example the changes he experienced in physical ability, thought, cognition, emotions and most valuably, his own perception of his experience...This book gives a clear overview of how valuable health and social care support is to someone who needs to find their way through a complicated and frightening system. I would recommend this book to professionals, families and carers. It explains what is happening to the injured person and the significant people who are part of their journey; the reader will gain invaluable professional guidance from a neew perspective. As a social work practitioner, I feel the urge to read the book again. It has given me insight from the soul, from a personal experience, and on that basis, this book is highly recommended.`
