If you don't see the Chat Bar, look for the blue balloon at the bottom right, click on it and the Chat Bar will expand across the bottom. Then, you can click on the Chatrooms button. Then, select the PCS and TBI chatroom.

I'll do my best to be there for as long as I can handle the screen time. I'm very limited here. But the topic is something that concerns me deeply. Thanks for organizing this for us!
__________________
2002 - hit my head on a washer door while doing laundry. Recovered in 24 hours (was 7 months pregnant at that time)
2005 (maybe 2006) - kitchen cabinet (it took me ~ 1 week to recover)
2009 - refrigerator shelf, recovered in 1 month
summer, 2011 - metal rail, the life-changing concussion. Black out for ~10 minutes, spent ~2weeks in bed (wasn't able to even use a bathroom by myself). Made a complete recovery in 2 months.
October, 2011 - washer door again. Recovered in 1 months.
March, 2012 - kitchen cabinet again. Suicidal depression. Was diagnosed with OCD. Severe anxiety. Was completely recovered in 4 months, celexa is a magical pill.

After that I managed to go almost 1.5 years without a concussion! Was at a completely symptom-free stage, started volunteering at my kids' school again. I was living a happy life. Then,

August, 2013 - fell down the stairs, broke my ankle badly (my surgeon said that he literally has never seen anything that bad ever before and he's been practicing for more than 20 years).
September, 2013 - my son was hugging me and we bumped into each other. Result - complete return of all of my symptoms., no improvement with time. Severe depression again.

7/7/2014 - hit my self on a metal shelf again while trying to clean.


I'm not clumsy. It's just the floor hates me, the tables and chairs are bullies and the wall gets in the way.

Maybe we should try to make this a weekly thing, or start with a monthly one?

the chat to bar is in the bottom left corner. We had the meeting and it was very good. I hope that we do it every week at least to start but that's just me. I found it very therapeutic and I hope others did.
