This book has become a staple for brain injury survivors, their families and friends as well as in healthcare related college courses through the years.
In January 1996, a van speeding through a red light ended the life Kara Swanson had known. She suddenly joined the 2 million Americans who suffer brain injury each year. It was like being thrust into a foreign country with no map, no way to speak the language, no directions home.
“This is the book I wish I could have read when I was first diagnosed with a brain injury,” Kara writes. I tried to take the information that it took me months and years to learn and put it into a short, easy-to-read book that would help survivors and their loved ones better understand the process of recovery.”
Written with laugh-out-loud humor, candor, and technical input from medical and legal professionals, “I’ll Carry the Fork!” offers inspiration and practical help to anyone dealing with the aftermath of brain injury. Because as Kara says, “Sometimes when your life ends, you don’t actually die.”
