  About the Authors Leon Edward and Dr. Anum Khan

  For Leon Edward, the past 35 years since the tbi left one lingering desire: the need to give something back, a way to provide something meaningful for the families and loved ones of patients who will face the same painful disruption of their lives and the same long journey he had to undertake. “I want to be clear in the introduction that I am not a health professional as my co-author Dr. Khan, but rather an engineer that has had a tbi” – Leon Edward

  This book was written by one deeply caring brother for his brothers and sisters suffering the same or even a worse fate after surviving traumatic brain injuries – and with deep admiration and appreciation for their families and caretakers who will help to guide them.

  For Leon it has become an ingrained part of his existence to help others enjoy life after suffering serious injuries especially living alone after a TBI, even if it only means that he can help others who are disabled or living alone with words of hope, encouragement of inspiration.

  Dr. Anum Khan enjoys crafting health content that genuinely helps the readers in a practical and insightful way. She believes that a healthy life is everyone’s right, and it must be taught in an easy and effective manner using the most authentic information and relatable voice.

  This book comes with the same intent: To help sufferers, families, professionals learn more about TBI with a holistic approach, and to equip them with all the knowledge they will need on this journey.
