Rebooting My Brain: How a Freak Aneurysm Reframed My Life Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Maria Ross gave me insight into the problems my son has since his TBI as well as hope. In many respects, the aftermath of Mike's injury were much more severe than Maria's but I still recognized the frustration and the sense of being overwhelmed that permeates Mike's life. This should be required reading for TBI/ABI patients and their caregivers. "

" I may be biased after having an aneurysm but this was a very informative book and the personal details of Maria's daily struggles made it interesting. Maria's aneurysm caused a lot more problems for her but I am happy for her recovery. The chapters about her hospital stay especially touched a sore spot for me as I had hallucinations during the beginning of my recovery. Unfortunately, I transferred back to a hospital without a nursing staff less knowledgeable about brain injuries and/or trauma (long story) so I went home a little scared that I was going to live with these hallucinations. Thanks to Maria for sharing her story. "

" A beautifully written, honest account of someone recovering from TBI. "

" This book changed the way I feel about my brain, post-stroke, and validated my theories about my "brain damage". ANYONE, who has suffered a brain injury (stroke, aneurysm, car accident, etc), and anyone who loves them, should read this book. PERIOD. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It's amazing that she even survived! "

" I've always been a little fascinated by the brain and Maria Ross' account of how she survived an aneurysm and continued on with her life was riveting and poignant. "

" this book & Jill Bolte Taylor's My Stoke of Insight are both must reads to understand brain injury. both are inspiring, informative, & extremely well-written "

" Interesting and extremely readable especially given the subject matter. "

" An interesting & very honest book about the aftermath of a brain aneurysm. At times, a little grating, but the victim's husband deserves all the credit for putting their life back together. "

" Serious subject but she deals with lots of humor. Informative while being entertaining at the same time. "

" This book let me in on having to 'reboot' your brain. The hassel and the problems, but also the endless possibilities our brains gives us to help us. Understanding ourselves is one of the best weapons we can have for the future! "

" This was a free Kindle download from Amazon. It started out great, a real page turner. But it bogged down after the initial life changing frenzy of the aneurysm. I lost interest about 2/3 of the way through the book. "

" Great autobiography. Informational about strokes/traumatic brain injury (including symptoms) & funny in places! "

" 3.75 stars. Runs on a bit here and there and is occasionally repetitive, but a valuable firsthand account from someone who went through an aneurysm-- how she felt afterward, how she learned to cope with the new person she became. "

" The account of her stroke and recovery was somewhat interesting, but long and drawn out. Did not enjoy reading it. "
