(WBAL TV) – A Maryland man is sharing his recovery story in hopes of helping others during Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Month. Anthony Johnson, of Columbia, is moving forward following his traumatic brain injury (TBI) diagnosis. He has certainly come far since November 2020, when the car he was riding in was hit by a truck while on his way to work.
“The left side of my skull that was damaged in the accident got replaced by a prosthetic skull that was created through a 3-D printer. That was measured to be symmetrical to the right-side skull,” Johnson said.
Johnson was on the passenger side and suffered multiple facial, rib and skull fractures that required two brain surgeries. “The scar down the middle, this is the incision. So, it’s not a fashion statement,” Johnson said. “I had to learn how to talk. I had to learn how to walk. I had to be fed.” CONTINUE
