Thanks Hockey! I never even thought of asking about TBI patient cards. I did get frisked at security by a very stern little woman. I also have alot of trouble speaking to people when I am stressed so yeah, the tattoo on the forehead seems like a good idea.

In my anxiety about writing my First Post, I totally forgot to tell the OP that the way I dealt with the isolation during the first 6 months post accident (I am 2.5 years in now) was to respond to my friends comments on facebook, some days thats all I could do, and I messaged my friends and coworkers to ask them to please leave a message about their day if they phoned and I did not answer. I told them that some days I was so fatigued that conversations were beyond me but I sure enjoyed hearing their voices.
