26. Learning to Say 'No' with Patricia Grotenhuis - Vision, Concussion, & Family Life

The Post Concussion Podcast - Life After A Brain Injury

If you struggle to say no, this one’s for you! Today’s guest, Patricia Grotenhuis, is a sixth-generation farmer. She works alongside her husband on their dairy farm every day and they enjoy sharing that life with their four active boys. Needless to say, she has her hands full, especially on the back of a global pandemic. In today’s episode, she tells us the story of how a diagnosis of Post Traumatic Vision Syndrome was pivotal to her healing process.
Patricia stays hopeful and reminds us that you don’t have to change your whole life because of an injury. She gives us some pearls of wisdom for parents: rest when you can, learn to say no, and ask your older kids to help you. Lastly, we talk about the influence of the pandemic on Patricia’s life in recovery and she offers us a word of advice: stay positive! At some point, it will get easier.
