Claudio posted a blog postthoughts on limits
Limits are self imposed. Limits are also put there by the fear from others. I wasn't really aware of much during the early days post the injury...after i was out of the 2 month rehab. I don't really think much about it except when something sparks (emails from posts on this site). The coma was pretty severe and the post neurosurgery 6 months later was no picnic either. Mostly because i was alone and 16 and family pretty much entertained themselves with me. This feeling i got from them…See More
Claudio commented on phil espinoza's blog post A TBI thought of the day..."I talk to myself all the time Phil, mostly because over the years i've learned that most people don't have the stones to hear. Strength comes from inside...so they say...so why wouldn't you talk to yourself if that is where your…"
Claudio replied to Darcy Keith's discussion Never Give Up on Your Dreams in the group Darcy Keith's tips to help other survivors"i understand what you are saying Darcy. I would think that the recent example of the defensive back leading with his head when tackling would be useful. the league now fines for that as it did with this players whose name i dont have but…"
Claudio replied to Darcy Keith's discussion Never Give Up on Your Dreams in the group Darcy Keith's tips to help other survivors"that is a great opportunity, one thinks that things are easy for those who are blessed with athletic success but it is that success that often leads to bad decisions.

For you that need
Needing is the single most unattractive feature of this TBI situation...since when we need support for things that others figure you should know or things that a child can do or things that are just too basic for someone to even understand why. Today i filmed a moment that was an intersection of man and nature. I walked to the end of the peer where birds where being fed...i suppose for passing some time or for some entertainment and well that seems to be how i view ALL the support i…

game
i have a windows pc that has the card game solitare. the hot keys are H for hint and Spacebar for return. Ive been using it to increase my brain to finger coordination but it also helps me see possibilities i miss. so its kind of a multilevel game this way. i try to see how fast i can see it before hitting H and where the moving cards will go. if you try it .....

Resource discussion----please read
i wonder how things would be if we got just what we needed and if what we needed was not right someone would educate us as to the why. i keep seeing tbi support groups popping up and i hate to see something like this turn into more wasted time and dollars like most things. I'm working with the department of rehab in california not for money or for making support better for others but for finding me a job. i have no idea how much longer i can go without since i was denied supplemental…
