I know 10 months seems like a long time, but I infured my knee about 2 years ago. It has only been in the last 6 months that my knee hasn’t given me any grief. I thought I was stuck with my dicky knee, but it seems OK. I think you’re still healing, Laura.

Thank you for posting this about TBI!!!! i have had alot of experience with it. My hsband, my father and more recently my 13 yr old son last summer! I am a huge advocate for it and am taking on an educator role for it (whether i want to or not–lol) to teach not only my family and friends about the realities fo brain injuries but also our schools!
Maybe (unfortunately) with a celebrity face to it now– there will be more brought out about this silent and crippling injury and how it affects not only the survivors but the family and communities!

Really scary experience you had! I fell on the ice this winter and went down really fast and broke my elbow. It if had been my head, who knows?

Thanks for your stories and support. I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m having various after-effects from my own head trauma which was now a full 10 months ago!

I need to keep in mind how lucky I am to be here at all!

My daughter has left this afternoon to spend the weekend with a group of people who go mountain bike competing. She will be taking photographs – not riding. When I see some of the courses these people ride on, and the speed with which they do it I am always amazed that not more are hurt. Almost a year ago, after getting out of a car, my man died instantly from a head injury after he slipped and hit his head on a rock on a river causeway. It only takes a knock on the wrong spot. You’re a lucky woman Laura.
