- I just saw on the Today show a segment on alzheimer's and women. The doctor said by age 65 , one in 6 women ( and one in 11 men) will have Alzheimer's disease. That was interesting, but then the reporter asked "What about those people who have had...
- The past few months have been so frustrating! I know the expression is "the word is on the tip of my tongue" , but in my case it seems to be "on the tip of my brain". I just can't seem to get the words I want to come forward. I noticed this...
- I'll admit it, I'm a lover of poetry and prose ( yes, there is a difference) . However, this piece of prose is my favorite because it speaks to me of the struggles I"ve had and how I'm working to overcome them. This was written by Langston Hughes in...
- The assistant pastor at my church always preaches on the last Sunday of the year, offering up a new challenge for the new year. I don't remember past years, but his sermon on the last Sunday of 2013 really spoke to me. Since we are a group deciding...
- I was just reminded March is brain injury awareness month! I can't believe I forgot this ( well my memory is like a sieve, so I can believe it) . Here in Maine, as in other places, we have a 'walk for thought" fundraiser; you support me for X...
- I was just watching the local weather. The past few days here have been sunny and very cold ( minus 3 during the day ) . The weatherman made the comment , "If you've had a headache the past day or so, or have one now, blame the barometer. " He...
- Hi, In case some of you don't know, Daylight Savings time starts this Sunday morning at 2 am. This means setting your clocks ahead one hour. ( my least favorite day of the year) . It also means we'll lose an hour of sleep. I was reading an article...
- Are you able to pick out a lovely blouse for your sister, or does it have to be the perfect rose color with a mandarin collar and pearl buttons ? In other words, "the right one". As I've mentioned, I'm keeping a journal for my upcoming...
- Hi, I wonder if any of you can relate to this: Lately I've been shoveling the snow almost daily ( husband is away). I'm usually outside for an hour or hour 1/2 . ( I do it in short spurts ) . I"ve found that after I am done and back inside, I...
- I originally posted this subject on the brain injury support page, and someone suggested I share it here, too. So here goes: My granddaughter, Persephone ( Per-seff-an-ee) will be joining our family in mid June. I am keeping a journal for her ,...
- My granddaughter, Persephone ( pronounced "Per-sef-an-ee) is arriving in mid June. I started keeping a journal for her the day my daughter told me she was pregnant. I talked about where we were when Amy told me, what we were eating and what we...
- This really isn't a heavy-duty problem. Rather, I'm "polling the audience" to get some opinions. My husband is in California for 2 weeks. ( He's been gone a week). He always shovels the driveway after snow falls "because I like the exercise". I'm...
- Ah the joys of living in a house built in 1916! Despite our efforts to remodel and insulate the the heck out of the house, there are still crevices that bats get into , not to mention other wildlife. Currently we are being visited by squirrels...
- I recently talked ( via Facebook) with a friend in New Zealand who has a severe tbi. She had gone for cognitive testing, and her neuro-psychologist said she had chronic confusion and chronic short term memory problems. The psychologist said that...
- I've been going to the gym daily for a month now as I try to get back in shape. ( "I am in shape- my shape is round") . I listen to my mp3 player while working out , then on my walk home ( 1 1/2 miles ) . Although the music isn't considered "rock"...
