The Tea Room Community Group
This is a private group by invitation only. It is a group for those who have a loved one with a brain injury. This group was not founded by me but I will serve as the founder temporarily as one of the first members.
My son overdosed on heroin. His father and I had to preform Cpr until emergency people showed up. That is something that no parent should ever have to do. He was taken to the hospital and checked out. He refused to spend the night. dumbass !
He had been doing well with his drug issues but last night after dinner he caved in to his demons. I am sitting here wondering where do we go from here. Where do I find some kind of rehab that works with tbi. Where do I find one that does not cost a fortune...........and better yet can I get him to go ?
He is all but disappointed with the medical community. He feels like there is no one to help him. Probably due to all the meds he has tried and stuff. He is schedules to go to UC Davis Medical center neurology dept. I am hanging on that that one......hopefully we wont get disappointed yet again.
I am numb this morning....I am at work wondering how the hell I am going to make it today. My eyes are red and swollen and I look like shit . Feel that way too. I should have stayed home but my coworker is out of town until the new year and someone has to run this office and help doctor with patients............
hugs....... pam

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I understand the self medicating by our TBI loved one, as my 28 y.o. daughter has been going through something similar with pot & alcohol. It took a child custody battle from her ex, to straighten her ass out, at least as far as the pot's concerned.
I know this might sound absurd, but have you ever thought of contacting the show "Intervention"? I've been watching it for years now, it seems like they really could help. Just a thought.
Just want you to know I'm here thinking of you, and praying that things will get better.

If they would take him I doubt he would even go..........even tho he is screwed up and can not deal with his changes and headache pain he still loves his baby.
Keeping fingers crossed doctors at the university hospital can help.
Thanks to all !

I am just hoping and praying that when we finally get him to UC Davis neurology department that they will have a acceptable treatment for him. And by that I mean get rid of the headache ! He is sick of it. I guess I would too after 4 years of daily head pain.
Thanks everyone for you concern and posts !
