In December 2018 I set aside my international career ambitions to address a personal priority.My brother Max had suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2011, leaving him with severely impaired movement and speech and variable cognitive function. Although he had been recovering well with the help of a dedicated caregiving and therapy team, I had an urge to know what would be possible with a very deliberate therapeutic regimen.I left my exciting position as assistant professor at the University of Nottingham's exotic Malaysia campus to find out. Caring for my brother's 24-hour needs and his environment became my core responsibility. But my real quest was to support him in unlocking the possibilities for improvement — physically, mentally and emotionally. The process involved: • Daily exercise with systems like passive exercise, modified yoga, stretching and brain gym• Daily cognitive therapy through reading together, discussion, courses and later Max reading aloud• Regular occupational therapy with hand exercises, activities and games• Refinements to caregiving systems and practices in the home• Nutritional planning and involving him in recipe creation• Assisting him in publishing his own book online (http://gum.co/urbanpharmherbs)• Streamlining of administrative tasks• Training and team-building for future caregiversHis progress in this time justified the effort many times over. He gained muscle mass, improved his coordination and strength, increased his speech fluency and comprehensibility, developed skills to manage the emotional challenges of his situation and, overall, attained a far higher quality of life. Despite these triumphs, the situation remains challenging. my brother does still have persistent limitations and pain, however well he and his team manage them. The outcomes of this career break came at a high price. Nevertheless, I believe it was worthwhile. When Max passed away in June 2023, I think we were both at peace.
