Betsy's Support Site for Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery and Rehabilitation    By November of 2000 she was able to live at home with her husband. She was walking, talking, writing, feeding herself, dressing herself, joking, reading, paying bills, making salad dressing, etc. She retained both long term and short term memory. Some vegetable! The doctors are all saying "It's a miracle". Well, maybe but maybe what I did helped her. I want to lend my support to all family members and loved ones of brain injury survivors because I have been through it and know the pain, frustration and challenge that a loved one can experience, and more importantly, I want to share my theories and information with you all so that you can help to possibly make a miracle happen too. neuroplasticity. . You know them better than any doctor, therapist or nurse, and they know you better than anyone. They are affected by your praise more than you can imagine, whether you are a husband, wife, father, mother, sister, brother. son, daughter, or other loved one. In my opinion, you have the power to stimulate their brain and to help in healing it. . If you consistently tell them that they will recover and constantly tell them how well they are doing, then I think they will do much better than if a family member is negative. Now that my mother is cognitive, she tells me that my praise meant everything to her and that she heard much of what I said when she was in a coma and in the "vegetative" (or non-responsive) state. Furthermore, my mother felt and reacted to pain during the vegetative stage. Families should be aware of this.

Friday, 29 October 2010 TBI Recovery and a Higher Power A major part of recovery for my friend is accepting a higher power can help us recover, but also learning to give up control to that power. (Recovering alcoholics may know these as Steps Two and Three of the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous Having Faith I Will Figure It Out Listening to Your Body: Sweating and Cravings for Salt On the question of fatalism versus freewill, I fall very much on the side of free-will: while I believe a greater power might give me a sign as to the right way, I believe it is entirely up to me to follow it. Please let me know if you agree or have any thoughts about my attempting to reconcile fatalism and freewill for TBI recovery. Cheers
