thank you, thank you, thank you for putting a face on what so many of us have suffered from....

This whole series is wonderful. :-)

Thanks! My son Chris did a great job. We hope to finish up parts 5 and 6 in November.

All the best,

John

Yes but here's the problem. He doesn't care. I'm the one who's looking for a solution. I care. He just sits and mopes. He also needs anger management in some way. He also thinks ther is no hope for him. I'm looking forward to the next one.

[erasmusblues]

I don't understand your comment.

Who doesn't care? And who sits and mopes?

And who thinks there's no hope?

[Fringe111]

I'm talking about my son-in-law. He's the one who had the brain injury two years ago. I'm trying to find some help for him

[erasmusblues]

Oh I see. I didn't connect your note here with the one above. Maybe there's a local support group for TBI in your area? Sharing strategies is very helpful, and also makes you feel less alone.

[Fringe111]

Yep that would be great if he'd go. I've researched all kinds of programs for him but he just won't help himself.

John Byler,

I am a part of the Framingham group. The 4 videos have been very insightful, comforting and thoughtful. My journey started on 10/16/06. I see Rick ! I would love to just talk with you. Let me know thought Barbara. Good health, be safe, Craig G

[TBINBD]

Hi Craig, thanks for your note. I hope to be with the group on Tuesday.

All the best . . .

love the rush hour clip

[TBINBD]

Yeah, thanks Josh. Way to i.d. the source! Now . . . which of the 3 was it?

[dontsendmeanybs]

So, I'm ALONE. What will it take for YOU to take My Advice? Millions of others FOLLOWING ME? Or an another CRASH?

Do YOU know what "I told you so" means? I don't think ANYONE knows what I mean. That's sad, John.

[TBINBD]

Hi there, your videos are interesting and I'm glad someone is encouraging the not-altogether-accepted use of helmets in cars. I don't wear one but you've given me lots to think about.

[Fringe111]

When you said "we are stuck in ours heads" you couldn't have been more correct. My son-in-law says the same thing. I sent this onto my daughter. Thank you

[TBINBD]

You're welcome! I hope he hangs tough and finds ways to overcome the claustrophobia. Part 5 should be up soon, and then the finale -- Part 6 -- in a month or so.
