How were you treated? What therapies did you receive? Where were their gaps in understanding & services? or What strategies have you learned from TBIBridge? or a story about how you used the new strategy to get through a challenge or around an obstacle? 00:31:47 Kirk Paige: Reacted to "It can be a story ab..." with 👍🏻 00:32:38 Lorrie "Tigerlily" Herrmann: So happy you have returned Cika!

My wife also pushed me to join this group. So glad she did and I know she is too. She doesn't have to be there for me to talk to all the time. I find it much better to talk and listen to people who are in the same place because we actually know what we are going through. 00:58:13 Regino Orea: Replying to "I’m grateful my wife…" Yes,and that alone is so helpful 00:58:28 mona delahooke: Reacted to "My wife also pushed ..." with ❤️ 00:58:37 Regino Orea: Reacted to "My wife also pushed …" with 👍 01:00:18 Pilar: Reacted to "My wife also pushed ..." with 😀 01:00:42 Vannessa: Hi Amy. I was pregnant with my daughter when I had my aneurysm and shes 6 months old now. I often worry about something happening to me and not being able to be there for her. On August 8th it was 1 year since I had my aneurysm and I was terrified that something would happen to me that day but something that day made me realize that I dont want to live in fear. I have this beautiful child in front of me and I want to try to live in the moment and cherish my time with her as much as I can. 01:01:04 Pilar: Reacted to "Hi Amy. I was pregna..." with ❤️ 01:01:50 Adeline Arjad: I just wanted to make sure Amy knows she doesn’t have to spend time with anyway that disempowers her or makes her feels sad/bad or “less than”. It’s important to be around people that elevate us. We already have a lot on our plate with Doctors, our friends should be a source of happiness. 01:03:39 Regino Orea: Reacted to "Hi Amy.

I don't know what happened here I turned into a puddle.. 01:07:16 Amy: Thank you for all the comments and charts 01:09:28 Pilar: Where on tbi bridge is kirks story I couldn’t find it before 01:10:32 Kirk Paige: Replying to "Where on tbi bridge ..."

Yes you need to honor your sadness and grief, but being in group of people just talking about the lives they lost isn’t support, it’s kind of a complaining corner. 01:17:25 Amy: Thank you Vanessa that is amazing you got thru the pregnancy! 01:17:39 Vannessa: Reacted to Thank you Vanessa th... with "❤️" 01:17:45 Pilar: You can read it thanks 01:21:26 cindy hernandez03/5/18: i am going to be a grandma in a couple weeks 01:22:24 Amy: Reacted to "I just wanted to m..." with ❤️ 01:22:42 Amy: Reacted to "Hi Amy.

Young grandma? 01:29:27 Lorrie "Tigerlily" Herrmann: Something primary and essential to share with your children after an injury is that just because this happened to Mommy/Daddy/Grandma---doesn't mean that I love you any less. It probably means that I love you even more now than I did before! 01:29:32 Amy: Suzanne, oh me too! I can smell a lot of things...its weird. Thank you for sharing your perspective about being a teacher, that is invaluable 01:29:39 Pilar: Reacted to "Something primary an..." with ❤️ 01:30:08 Pilar: Replying to "Something primary an..." Its also a great lesson for them if they experience hardships of their own, to see their parent overcome some struggles and not give up 01:30:23 Pilar: Replying to "Something primary an..." Its a good example for them for the future 01:30:33 Amy: How to join the book club? 01:30:57 Elyse: My sense of smell has also gotten much more sensitive. It was so comforting to hear that others with TBIs also have this. So good not to feel alone in all of this! 01:31:12 Celeste Palmer: Tbibridge.org 01:31:17 Pilar: Replying to "Suzanne, oh me too! ..." Interesting I think my sense of smell increased as well after TBI , though it was sensitive before , so I kind of just chalked it up to hormones, who knows 01:31:34 Lorrie "Tigerlily" Herrmann: TBIBridge.org then on the right side a little blurb about bookclub. click on that blurb and you will find the link to join us on Wednesday. 01:32:25 Amy: Reacted to "TBIBridge.org then..." with 👍
