Winnifred spent three years at home after a concussion: ‘I even forgot what a spoon is called’

The impact of a concussion is often underestimated. For example, 31-year-old Winnifred Noorlander initially thought there was little to worry about after she was hit by a car. But it ended in three long years of her mostly staying at home. She forgot the names of her best friends and even how to eat with a spoon. She talks about her path from isolation to inspiration. About what she thought impossible years ago: Swimming across the Channel, 37 kilometers through cold water.
