NOTE: by relentless I think that they imply more of a hyperactive funny/scary to others yet talked about as crazy. Patient usually can't help themselves nonetheless. Sometimes they know that they can be really inappropriate at the wrong times. Like an autistic being overwhelmed and presenting coping mechanisms that may include body movement. It just happens like dat. Oh, and they appear fine

For rigid goal setting, my insight to share is the person who simply must have the first spot closest to the door and may ask the store owner if parking inside was available. It's a little of overcompensation from a weakness that no one can readily see, so it must be made up?! Please say something if you have found yourself stuck. Thank you

Just saw on another public page that a brain injury survivor was just today ok'd to drive herself around in her own vehicle. What a BIG deal as many do not return to driving a vehicle ever again. I was reigned inside three miles from my house which in DC terms is huge since there's so much packed inside of it. I broke the agreement several times over due to concussion reasons. Anyway, Congratulations to the Survivor and stay safe out there!

Helped a very old woman into her driver's car. She knew exactly what to you to get my attention. Shopping cart driven straight into me at the door while she smiled looking onward. She grabbed my hand that I could barely feel due to the ever so light touch. In perfect timing, her driver pulled up as I opened the door heard a blockbusting cacophony of blessings and appreciation.

I thanked them wondering how in the world she was going to make it without my help!!? She was supporting the wall for a couple minutes waiting for her driver to come up.

Hey, if you have help then stay with the person bolstering you. Falling is the NUMBER ONE way to gain a brain injury. Older the person the way harder the recovery

Ok, folks and fans. Here is the replay from this morning's webinar that my colleague Darcy Keith, survivor speaker author. It was a great time finally getting our voices heard. Here's to awareness.

Join me this Tuesday, September 24th, 11CST/12EST

Earlier this year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) formally designated brain injury as a chronic health condition. But what does that mean for those who experience brain injury? Shines a light on what's needed now instead of trying to believe that the injury exists in the first place due to lack of diagnostics that help vs skip right over it.

I will be participating in a live, free webinar with the Brain Injury Association of America to talk about what this change really means for the brain injury community and how we can leverage this designation to build better systems of care for people with brain injury.

See you there!

This is about the huge step we took as a community to call out brain injury as an actual long term health consideration.

Americans beg and wait for their brain to be healed not just treated and release especially after a concussion.

Be smart and register below should you be interested in joining the online Zoom call.

Grateful to those who walk this journey with me. You're not alone.

Found a meter, I need one to "root out" those who are making brain injury up. That's after they are treated and released and the family's life is in up heaving mode. Families call Bu****it when the insurance cuts them off post concussion after 90 days. Mine did which began my search for any improvement
