Over My Head

by Claudia L. Osborn
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample

This physician’s “inspiring” account of overcoming a devastating brain injury “will assist patients, families, and friends enduring the same difficulties” (Library Journal).
 
Locked inside a brain-injured head looking out at a challenging world is the premise of this extraordinary memoir chronicling the long process of adjustment and rehabilitation after a fateful, helmetless bike ride. In Over My Head, Claudia Osborn, a doctor and clinical professor of medicine, recounts coming to terms with the loss of her identity and the courageous steps (and hilarious missteps) she took while learning to rebuild her life.
 
For years, Osborn was deprived of the career she loved and the intellectual companionship of her professional colleagues—and the ability to handle the simplest undertakings like shopping for groceries or sorting the mail. Her progression from confusion, dysfunction, and alienation to a full, happy life is told here with restraint, great style, and considerable humor.
 
“Exceptionally well-written and engaging.” —Publishers Weekly
