Hello Daily Strength brothers and sisters!
I a senior in college, my major is Rehabilitation Services and I need help with a project. My project is that I need to keep in touch with someone that has a disability for this semester and I will be asking you one or two questions per week. If someone can help me out that would be great. Its not just for school but since im a Rehab major i would love to make many friends and help as much as I can. Im a great listener so if you all need someone to talk to you can count on me. Thank you all and I would appreciate your help. God Bless, Rudy Posted on 09/08/09, 11:09 pm |

Hi Rudy...
My son is having his right leg amputated below the knee within the next two weeks. I'm sure he would be happy to help you in any way. Contact him on Facebook...search for Corey Colagrossi (there's only one). If you have any problems, let me know.

SINCE HE HAD BRAIN INJURY AND HAD TO HAVE SEVERL FACIAL RECONSTRUCTIONS SURGERIES AND IS STILL FACING MORE. HE WAS IN HOSPITAL FOR 2 MONTHS. HIS BRAIN INJURY CASUSES PROBLEMS WITH ANGER, INPULCIVE BEHAVIOR AND SOME INAPROPREATE JOKING AND TEASING, IMPATICENTS AND ARGUING. I DESCRIBE MY SON AS HAVING HIS SAME PERSONALITY BUT 10 TIMES EXZAGERATED IN ALL DIRECTIONS. HE IS VERY HARD TO DEAL WITH AT THIS TIME.
