“You won’t survive if you just crawl up on the couch now”, my doctor said to me. I honestly don’t know why or what happened, but, out of nowhere, I decided to make a dollhouse, but not just any dollshouse, I decided to knit everything inside. That’s how it started. Soon, I made all sorts of dollshouses. Something really changed in me after my accident, I can’t explain it. Honestly, I think I have been gifted. There is no way I could have done this before. I wouldn’t have known how to make like this. Now, it just comes to me, I imagine something, and I can see how different parts of it are connected to each other and I know how to make it in small-scale. I told my neurologist. I said it’s like my head injury made me more creative. He was amazed. He kept monitoring me and after six months of making the dollhouses he said things had really started improving and that I must have been working damaged parts of my brain; connections were re-forming. He said it must have been something about working in different scales. Can you believe it, he now recommends this to his other patients. He actually prescribes making dollhouses to people with head injuries as a way to repair broken connections in your brain!
