Smilin eyes....thank you so much for that. It does help knowing someone else understands the frustration and difficulties that come with your career being put on hold. That was my exact fear last week when my doctor put me back out of work....i thought i was gonna get fired. I have no protection from FMLA or any other leave absences because i've been out of work for 6 months this year (3 months was for a back injury and then a month after returning i had the brain injury). My manager said not to worry about my job....but she also knows i cant come back to work there with my hours restriction, so my next move is to talk to employee assistance and ask them to help me find an appropriate fit when i return. Im so sorry that you were fired. That is so awful and scary. You are an amazing person to do what you do....i randomly have a friend who works with the same population of kids as you and also has a brain injury and has been suffering from her issues for 10 years now. It wasnt easy for her, but she did it cuz she loved it. Wishing you the best!!

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability.
Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.
