Cerebellar Dizziness and Nausea

November 2, 2009

“Can cerebellar dizziness and nausea resolve?”
The cerebellum is where my own injury is and doctors have told me over and over that damage to the cerebellum is not possible to reverse.  Well…  This may be right.  I’m not a doctor.  I do know though that 25 years ago I couldn’t lift my head off my [...]

A Human New Orleans

October 16, 2009

Today I was offered the opportunity to enter a blog contest with a group called Healing Time in support of rebuilding New Orleans: I was excited!  If I had to choose a city to represent me, I would choose this very city!

Choosing Rehab…

August 27, 2009

The other day I received this letter from Adam, which he has given me permission to share with you. Since then I have contacted the Brain Injury Society where he lives and found him the names of 3 rehabilitation hospitals that can help him and a hyperbaric oxygen center close to where he lives.

Hula-Hooping!

August 24, 2009

I’ve been slow and infrequent at posting new blogposts – several reasons but no real excuse… I can never get the photos loaded properly? So many things happen every day and it’s quicker and easier to Twitter! Which I do too since our last blog – and we’ve gained over 400 [...]

August 14, 2009

Five 5 days ago – I was lying here on my bed – where I am right now – wondering how the heck I could turn what I’m spending hours doing into a supporting, full-time (or part-time) real employment? So my baby son – who’s 19 years old now! – handed me a tissue [...]
