- It was such a wonderful movie! I was lucky enough to go and see it. I only saw three minor thins wrong with it. It was nothing like Noah or Ramseys Gods and Kings. It was so close to scripture I was so happy. There was one part where one of the...
- For TBI AWARENESS I shaved all of my hair off so that our 'invisible' injury wouldn't be so invisible any more. They told me it was going to be in the health section. They put it on the front page on the 21st of March!!
- I hate my brain tonight. I ran down to the DG for a few groceries. I left Jesse in the car because I had taken my shih-Tzu also. He hardly ever gets to go bye- byes. As I was checking out this man that looked familiar got in line behind me. He...
- Yesterday was Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Day. March is Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Month. I didn't know about it until I joined the TBI Tribe on Facebook. To bring more awareness to us and our struggles, since TBI's are considered the...
- I'm pretty sure that most of you have heard at least something about Will Smith's new movie coming out in December. It is about the doctor that fought the NFL to prove the damage that concussions do to the brain and the lasting effects. I have...
- I just got curious yesterday and went on Facebook and put in tbi support groups in the 'find friends' area. There were a couple of them. They are private groups and you have to apply and be accepted, but you can chat in real time with other...
- Why doesn't anyone in my life understand that I want my life to mean something?! Oh don't give me that crap about how I survived and I had a kid and blah, blah blah.. Most of you had the chance to do something with your lives pre-tbi. You went to...
- Is it still not smoking if you are vaping?
- Is making friends hard for you guys or is it just me? \Am I just so socially awkward that I can't make friends or is it common among survivors. Survivor. Damn. I never thought of myself that way before. It has been my life for so long and from...
- Is anyone seeing a specialist? Believe it or not I did not know that there were doctors just for brain injuries, well, beyond seizure doctors or neurologist. I actually got in contact with a man in OKC that had an aneurism 40 years ago when he was...
- Do you hate that you look normal and everyone thinks that you are okay when you are really not? People look at me and think that my life is so easy because I have lived with my injury for so long. They can't see my scars. my hair has grown back...
- So I was in town today paying bills. It is something that I do every two weeks. I even got to go to Cato's and pick up my lay a way. Some of the things that I had on lay a way went on sale so I got a gift card for the difference. I didn't feel...
- Does anyone else find it hard to stick to one subject. My mind jumps from thought to thought. I can be talking about hot dogs and that reminds me of my German shepherd and then I remember that his name was Kilo and that gets me to talking about...
- My tbi happened when I was ten years old so I have had longer to deal with the realities of it than most of you. I was a military dependent in a foreign country when it happened. I was lucky enough that the doctors there were the best. They were...
- I don't know who I am. I know my name. That is about it. My tbi happened forty years ago when I was ten. I wasn't even a fully cooked person yet. I hadn't fully become the person that I would some day be. And then everything changed. I know,...
