Welcome to Brain or Shine, our blog giving an insight to living with brain injury.
Where did this title come from? Well, to me a brain injury can be like the wonderful English weather, one minute the sun is shining, the next, it’s raining. It’s so unpredictable and has the ability to change very quickly.
