Empowered Papers: Illuminating LGBTQI+ Sexuality in Chronic Disease+Investigating Suicidality in TBI

In a first of its kind interview, Jenny interviews her mom to find out how she healed from a traumatic brain injury more than 40 years ago when Jeanette Anchondo was pregnant with Jenny. 

In a logging accident when she was three months pregnant, Jeanette  suffered a fractured skull, a broken shoulder, broken ribs, a ruptured spleen, nerve damage and, most impactful, a traumatic brain injury. 
 
She was told she'd never work again, never drive again, and that the prognosis for her Jenny wasn't great. She's proven a lot of people wrong over the years and in this episode, she details what kept her going and how she learned to read and write again, went back to work and went on to have two more successful pregnancies.

Their stories illuminate the often-invisible struggles faced by those with brain injuries. Linda's artistic journey through welding, John's unfiltered honesty about his challenges, and Des's unique battle against a rare condition showcase the resilience of the human spirit.

Our guests courageously share their personal journeys of resilience and recovery after experiencing brain injuries. Eimear recounts the sudden and severe stroke she faced, highlighting the life-altering impact on her senses, mobility, and daily life. Seamus reveals his experience with a cavernoma on the brainstem, emphasising the challenges of misdiagnosis and the emotional toll it took.

Throughout, our guests touch on sensory challenges, support systems, medical interventions, and the gradual process of regaining physical and cognitive abilities.
