"Angela,
I really like what you said about treating yourself more gently and patiently on the days when your scores are lower. I definitely find that I can't access certain information or functions as well some days, and that I have to…"

Hello to all I thank you for excepting me to this wonderful site I am a TBI survivor 4yrs with recent minor head injury. I have many complications with my left brain congnative prosessing and realted issues. Painting is my release and time where I can have a since of focus for once and frees my mind and soul of so much It really is all I have let if seems like at times now that I am unable to do what I loved as a nurse. I think writing, drawing and painting are vitile to me and my healing and striving to improve what I can in my life Once again thank you and I enjoyed what art I did see would like to see more and I will post some of mine if you get a chance please check it out critisim is welcomed and nessasary to life so we can change and grew from the exspirences :) All the best to all Kimmy

Good day to everyone! the amazing thing is that we survived and can now paint the beauty we each see on this Earth! yea, sometimes things seem weird in our lives...but one good thing is we take everything in at a slower-calmer speed! Please see my paintings on my page- phil espinoza.

I AM USING AN ANDROID TO TYPE HIS-SO, PLESSE EXCUSE ERRORS! I AM NEW TO THIS GROUP AND I CAN SEE ITS GONNA BE GREAT BEING HERE. I WAS A MUSICIA FOR BOUT 10 YEARS BEFORE AN ATV ACCIDENT THAT PUT ME IN A 3 MONTH COMA IN SEP 2008. I ALSO HAD BOUT 2 STROKES WHILE IN COMA. ANYWAY...I LOVE TO PAINT! I LOSSED ALOT OF GUITAR PLAYING, SO I DECIDED TO TRY MY HAND AT PAINTING. I LOVE IT. IT INVOLVES SELF EXPRESSION, LIKE SINGING AND PLAYING GUITAR. AS SOON AS I FIGURE OUT HOW TO UPLOAD PHOTOS WITH MY ANDROID...I WILL UPLOAD SOME PHOTOS OF MY ALIC PAINTINGS. ANYWAY, THE TBI IS DEFINITELY A CHALLENGE. IT DEFINITELY REQUIRES ALOT OF "ACCEPTING AND LETTING GO". IN ORDER TO ADJUST TO OURNEW LIFE. ANYWAY, I PAINT ALOT OF BUTTERFLIESAND FLOWERS. THE BUTTERFLY IS AN AMAZING INSECT! I MEAN, FROM A CATTAPILLSR WITH MANY LEGS.....IT TRANSFORMS INTO A FLYING BUTTERFLY! I MEAN, THATS AN ADJUSTMENT! AMAZING, AND IT CONTINUES TO SURVIVE AND ADJUST INSIDE ITS NEW BODY AND MIND! AND I KNOW WE WILL TOO! ANYWAY EVERYONE...MY NAME IS PHIL....GOOD TO BE HERE!

Tucker Family Reunion
This Tucker Family Reunion was in May 2013, and was the first time I've reunited with most of this side of my family since the wedding in 2007.
Angela Betancourt posted a discussionEmotional Impact of Returning To My Maiden Name
I was Angela Betancourt for less than a year before my husband was killed in the car accident where I sustained the TBI. I was a widow with his name for much longer than we were married, for the past five years. On the last day of the Tucker family reunion, I announced that I'm legally returning to my maiden name. Angela Leigh Tucker, who was born in Alabama. Friends and family ask how it feels. Truthfully, I feel freed from the daily reminder of what I lost. Of who I lost. I embrace my…See More

I had no idea how bad that score was. Last week, my BPI was 1,400! I train consistently four or five mornings a week. I often use my scores as a…"
