TBI Survivor and Poet
TBI survivor Dan Windheim writes to let us know:
“I am a TBI survivor with a web site dedicated to survival, and living a valued life. I have also written a book of poems on TBI and my life, perhaps you would be interested in sharing with those you work with. My site is www.tbilife.com.I work toward helping others, as I believe we help ourselves by helping others.
If you’re a survivor and you’d like to share your story or work with us, please email us!
That’s great! My fetus formed with extra blood vessels in my brain, causing me to have an invietro stroke and leading me to experience 14 more, outside the womb.
The final bleed I experienced occured in 1987, when I was 15. I was enrolled in my first year of Creative Writing, at the time. When I returned after a craniotomy, poetically, I went on overdrive, edited the school literary magazine, took a bachelor’s degree in Creative Writing and, in 2011, I took an M.Ed. in Writing, completing my thesis on a poetry method I began to use, not long after my craniotomy.
