Month: May 2013

My guest tonight is Michael F Ciafone, author of Silent Cries: Living With a Traumatic Brain Injury. His second book Traveling Forward: Survivng With Traumatic Brain Injury is a brand new release.

Michael’s books are his memories of the injury, and his experience with life afterward. He wrote these books to inspire people to not give up the fight, even though there are obstacles. He wants other survivors to know they aren’t alone. Join us for this most enlightening interview.

Friday night with Kim J!

Last week we heard from the father, Ian McCallum who wrote From Cradle to Grave and Back, a book for professionals and caregivers. This week we will hear from his son, Andrew McCallum. Andrew McCallum experienced a traumatic brain injury in April of 2008 when he was 32, which resulted in a variety of physical injuries and including a craniotomy. He was able to return to work 2 years later but went back on Long Term Disability 2 years later as the effects still seemed to be perceived as having an impact on his work. Andrew has had an interesting journey of his own. Check out his website at www.mentalfloss.ca & join us for some cool surprises!
