Month: July 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. You can find these books through Lash Publishing at www.lapublishing.org

We will also discuss TBI, alcohol, emotions and 12 Steps.

Janelle Breese Biagioni, RPC is an author, speaker, and counsellor with expertise in grief, loss, life transitions and brain injury. Janelle has significant experience with brain injury in her family and she has worked for the last decade as Editor of Headline Magazine and with The Cridge Centre for the Family Brain Injury Services providing community service.

She is the author of A Change of Mind: One Family’s Journey through Brain Injury and the upcoming book, Life Losses: Healing for a Broken Heart and a contributor to Brain Injury Journey – Hope, Help, Healing.

My guest tonight is Dr. Robert Kuvent, who spent his career as an accomplished foot and ankle surgeon. He’s served in at least nine Podiatric professional affiliations, and held positions in sixteen varied service organizations. To say he was a “Type A” personality, with an exceptionally busy life is an understatement. Then things changed, when his life was turned upside down with a disconcerting diagnosis. PD, like most other disabling conditions, not only takes a toll on the patient…But their family as well.

Dr. Kuvent will be the host of a program called “Shaken Not Stirred” about PD, in our new line up of two hour programs starting in August. He will be on every other Wednesday night to help raise awareness and hope for those whose lives have been touched by Parkinson’s.

Most sources now acknowledge that PD can become a long term effect of people who have suffered previous brain trauma, like the CDC and NIH.

Fantastic Frank will be away again. This time he is out in LAS VEGAS attending a Celebrity Launch Paid event hosted by CLINT ARTHUR..

So once again he has asked the Wednesday night BTR host to fill in for him, the GREAT and BEAUTIFUL KIM JUSTUS. who will be doing something very special. She just don’t know it yet.

So be sure that you tune in to her what she has planned.
