“I’ve had multiple strokes and an aneurism; and I still have a shunt from my brain to carry excess blood and fluids to my stomach so pressure won’t build up in my brain. Side By Side Brain Injury Clubhouse (SBS) has been a lifeline for me. If SBS didn’t exist I would be isolated, with no interactions, and no purpose. At SBS I get to be around friends and people who understand what I have been and am going through. There’s structure and things I get to do at SBS that helps make me feel good about myself, despite the challenges I face.”
