When Deb Brandon discovered that cavernous angiomas - tangles of malformed blood vessels in her brain - were behind the terrifying symptoms she'd been experiencing, she underwent one brain surgery. And then another. And then another. And that was just the beginning. The book also includes an introduction by Connie Lee, founder and president of the Angioma Alliance. Unlike other memoirs that focus on injury crisis and acute recovery, But My Brain Had Other Ideas follows Brandon’s story all the way through to long-term recovery, revealing without sugarcoating or sentimentality Brandon’s struggles - and ultimate triumph.

A Better Understanding...
Revisado: 01-30-21
My wife suffered a bleed and underwent brainstem surgery a year and a half ago. I had no idea what a Cav Mal Angioma was, much less what she was going through or how to affectively help. Deb’s wonderful articulations through her own accounts were immensely inspiring and it gave me a front row seat on how to better empathize and assist with my beautiful wife’s new normal. Deb’s descriptive stories are a road map of sorts to what my wife is experiencing and it affords me the experience, through Deb, to be able explain and reassure her that this is a natural part of the process post surgery.
Thank goodness for Deb’s courage and fortitude to be able to capture such an amazing chapter in her own life, without much understanding of how impactful and helpful her story has been in our journey. The little things are so very beautiful, now more than ever and thanks to Deb for sharing her little victories as they provided soo much more clarity to our gifts as they continue to unfold...
