Kim and Simon will be discussing both the merits, and pressures of “Lists”. Whether it’s a “To Do” List, list of symptoms to share with our practitioners, meds, grievances or pleasures .. We all need memory prompters to help us recall, or reset our priorities. Lists are not the “be all and end all” because if not used properly, they can cause undo pressure. Balance is the key!

We just observed Memorial Day .. How did you show remembrance to our fallen troops, and loved ones?

When Brain Injury causes us to “Let Go” of our old life, we mourn the loss in our own time, then we move forward into the adventures of our new life. No one said it’s easy .. But as we learn our new limits, accept that new doors will open where others have closed, and we absolutely can find happiness again .. Then we have a new freedom to build a life we feel is worth living. The new chapter begins ..

“About 10 years after Jake Band’s accident, an emergency room doctor told him that due to his post-accident accomplishments, he was one in a billion. The number of zeros increased upon every achievement. Since then, he has graduated from college, gotten married, and much more…”

“Being-Here is about facing your new life after surviving TBI. Nobody outside of a circle of survivors, can possibly have a clue what your life is like now. Band explains the unique things he did to face his new world. This was not only done with the hope that it could help others face similar unique deficits, but to convince them not to give up. If people, such as ‘rehabilitation professionals’ , pre-accident ‘friends’ and even family members have given up on you and/or your future, you can still be empowered to believe in yourself.”
