About this ebook

This is a self help book in e -format.
I thought to offer information from a person thats had life experience with living with a head injury.
Its designed to illustrate and lay out the path of what occurs in Head injuries.
It also uses a Maori proverb which is particular to my country of New Zealand. This is a South Pacific region. It may be of interest to cross cultural groups or persons to add in your own thought or pioints into the context of Head injury,
This e -publication although it lists New Zealand web site links can be of world wide relevance.
Its simply written and I've had feed back that its easily read. Please note the author herself has had a Head injury and finds it difficult getting this formatted.
Its described as an excellent resource, heart felt and providing a good and accurate account of the journey of Head injuries.
It is not provided as a medical text book,
This is the authors account of what i see that makes common sense to the writer. The e-book also provides some brief discussion points of Head injury causes and effects targeted to be informative to a laypersons level.
It includes readily available web links and listed concussion symptoms from NZ General practitioner Dr.'s. websites. Disclaimer at all times medical websites are to be referred to for actual causes and effects of concussion syndrome and medical advice needs to be sought for all persons relating to their neurological symptoms and illness i.e.; of Head injuries.
This book's main goal is too provide hope and insight into what happens next after an initial concussion.
Thanks very much for having a look the e- book is intended to give back to my community.
The content of this e- book can be read and copied but I'd appreciate a mention as referenced in S Hurst Korero Head injury e pub June 2021 New Zealand

    Korero Head Injury "Star Guide" - Sue Hurst

    Korero

    Head Injury

    Star Guide

    Sue Hurst

    Preface

    The cover photo represents the guiding stars to navigate by. The certain fact is that they are always present and show in the dark.

    The writer notes her star points through this book so others can gain light and or a guide.

    The writer sustained a head injury in a surfing accident.

    I wanted to show people the steps after the initial incident I had, to where I am now, some next 3 years later.

    I have termed it Korero in my country this means to talk and star guide referencing navigating a journey. This publication is to map out my recovery process and to provide an informative e-publication to share with the community.

    I also wished to share the following Maori New Zealand whakatauki -proverb

    "Ka taupua ngā tāngata ki runga ki te takere o te waka (W 1971:401). / The men rested on the hull of the canoe"

    Why I wished to add this in is, its uniquely New Zealand (N.Z.) Aotearoa. I have since the accident understood or learned some things. This includes being vulnerable, by explaining some difficulties, in speaking or thinking on occasion. I noted that the people around me e.g at work, understood. We then worked together as a team. Hence I wished to open with the beautiful whakatauki or Maori proverb above.

    I have included the following link for your interest to see a waka or Maori canoe with men.

    It could be interpreted as the men rested on the hull of the canoe. To rest, themselves to lie in wait, to take breath. Ahead of the next section of the trip.

    I've always believed in pulling hard on the paddles, doing my bit or more as part of the team.

    Like this whakatauki I have learned we have to take a breath and navigate our lives in the first few months. It's good to note that we improve through the months. After 3 years, I still have some remnant symptoms which show up more at work, under pressure, or in speaking and recalling important detail. Also, I find loud noise at times difficult to bear or different pitches of noise are uncomfortable too

    In recent weeks I've also learned to laugh at myself, people seem to like that. Another gain of the injury albeit through the book and the years of trials and tribulations this is the light at the end of the tunnel moment The order
