Summary

This week on Sickboy we dive into the world of acquired brain injuries. A few years ago Jennifer was struck by a car while riding her bike (HELMETS SAVE LIVES PEOPLE!) Today Jennifer takes the fellas through the journey of how life changes after an acquired brain injury. From debilitating physical pain, to LSDesque spacing out over the sound of a bag of gummies smacking off the floor, to rediscovering a lost libido, to a diagnosis of PTSD. One of our favourite conversations of 2017, and our last before the new year!
