Default 1st mTBI & PCS conference

I'm just glad that there was a 1st mTBI & PCS conference.
But then I thought, "The First! There has never been a conference on this subject before!"
Seems incredible, seeing so many people are affected.
About time.

I presented my recovery story and how hope and grieving are essential factors of recovery.

Once I get over my jet lag, I will be writing more on my blog on **

As a survivor of a stroke and 3 Traumatic brain injuries, I can attest there is hope. My focus was we might have a disability is some areas, we just need not be handicapped by them. There is a Way.
