Every 21 Seconds, someone is affected by a traumatic brain injury. Every 21 Seconds, a CEO, a preschool teacher, a next-door neighbor endures life-altering injury. For Brian Sweeney-father, a successful businessman-a fun-filled weekend with lifelong friends evolved into a life changed forever. From the hospital bed to the boardroom, follow the trials and triumphs of Brian Sweeney, father, successful businessman, traumatic brain injury survivor. Every 21 Seconds...
Every 21 Seconds chronicles the hidden complexities experienced after traumatic brain injury, as can only be told by a survivor. Mr. Sweeney describes the roller coaster ride from the time of injury to the present, involving himself, family, friends and employers. The misunderstandings, biases, and injustices are clearly described along with wonderful insights to his abilities and disabilities. His struggle is a guide to patients and those who love and care for those individuals effected by brain injury.
JAMES A. YOUNG, M.D. Chairperson, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Rush University Medical Center Chicago, IllinoisEvery 21 seconds is the most honest book written by a TBI survivor that I have ever read. I am the mother of a 25-year old daughter who suffered the devastating effects of a traumatic brain injury three years ago and I believe I have read almost all of the books written on this topic.
Author BRIAN D. SWEENEY grew up on the south side of Chicago. As a traumatic brain injury survivor, Brian has been the subject of countless articles regarding traumatic brain injury. Over the years he has worked with TBI survivors and their families. His goal has always been to open the doors of the all-too-often misunderstood world of life with a traumatic brain injury. His willingness to discuss the subject matter in an honest, eloquent, and, at times, comedic format exposes readers to a world very few know exists. Every 21 Seconds reveals how a brain injury affects survivors and dramatically changes the lives of those around them.
