Geo Gosling replied to Angela Betancourt's discussion Emotional Impact of Returning To My Maiden NameGeo Gosling commented on April Northrup's blog post TBI Outsider"I suffered a TBI in 1995. It was a bicycle (me) vs pick-up truck collision. My right shoulder does not work as well as it should and that is because my brain can't give it all the necessary information. I've had countless tests and a…"
Geo Gosling commented on Shelah Riggins's group TBI Book Club"Cool! Thanks Bobby. Let other survivors know that the book helped...somewhat. That's better than nothing."
Geo Gosling replied to David Day's discussion TBI and tough love"I would tell your son that you tried the "tough love" approach to his anger issues because you did not know what else to do and you hate to see him this angry. Of course if he won't talk to you then...maybe you can get him to just…"
Geo Gosling replied to John Donne's discussion Why some people recover better and become 100 percent normal Speech?"I suffered a TBI in 1995. My speech did improve with speech therapy up to a point. I still sound sort of drunk and my mouth cannot keep up with what I'm thinking. I can be difficult to understand. I give one word answers as much as possible and…"
Geo Gosling commented on Annie Ricketts's group Brain Injury Global Picnic Open Group"I think it would be good to let everyone in the group and at the picnic know about the two books I have written on the TBI I suffered way back in 1995. The books are "TBI Hell" followed by "TBI Purgatory." That is better than…"

Geo Gosling replied to Reggie's discussion Depressed holiday"Money, or lack thereof is a huge part of it. When I am watching TV (which is no longer free), or even just listening to the radio, I am constantly bombarded by commercials for "stuff" to buy for gifts. I can't afford any of it. I mean…"
Geo Gosling replied to Reggie's discussion Depressed holiday"Holidays are the most depressing times for me also. I don't really know why. I haven't quite figured that out yet. Maybe it's because I see people with what I want, but that with each passing year, I realize I'll most likely will…"
Geo Gosling replied to John Donne's discussion I Sing and Laugh But people think it's stupid"A) Who cares what people think - if it makes you happy, by all means do it! They are stupid because they aren't doing what makes them happy.
B) Laughter truly is the best medicine - especially for an injured brain because it is the only…"
Geo Gosling commented on Bill DeShayes's blog post Very good book"I hated everybody and everything for a good 10+ years. I'm only marginally better now. It's only a bad thing if you let it get in the way of what is good for you."
Geo Gosling commented on Bill DeShayes's blog post Very good book"I have a negativity problem also. The first book is just me ranting and raving about a lot of the s!@# I had to deal with. My second book is much more "positive" than the first. I've been told it's actually funny in a couple of…"
The two books I have written about all the trials and tribulations I've had to deal with as a result of having an injured brain. It is much easier for me to write than to speak clearly so...Here are the links to my web page for each book:
Click here for My first book: "TBI Hell - A Traumatic Brain Injury Really Sucks"
Click here for my second book: "TBI Purgatory - Comes After Being In TBI Hell"
"TBI Purgatory" is also available for the Kindle and both books are available as eBooks and can be purchased and downloaded in the Google eBookstore. That's not all. Both books are also available from, or as, or in (I don't know the correct way to say it) iTunes.

Kerry Mischka said… Geo, just sent you a friend request. I was reading some of your comments. Do you think it is possible for anyone that has NOT sustained a severe TBI to comment on it? Being that I will never have a child of my own, would I be able to ever tell a woman what it feels like to give birth...I'm thinking the answer would be NO. How can anyone other than another individual that has sustained a TBI talk about it? I was just curious about your thoughts on that.

Hi Geo
I was also in a bike accident , was hit head on in 1990 coming down a steep hill in NY doing about 40 too ! Life is different while I still work full time ,I still suffer from depression and was lately diagnosed with impulsive control disorder. I just can not stop my inappropriate obscenities while my neighbor a "bully" tries to provoke me and I get arrested. But since I've been under new medicine I can control my anger and I win!!!!

Christine Brand said… Geo, I promise I will tell you my honest opinion of the books. I think your books are exactly what I would like to read. Thanks, and take care, Chris

Geo~
Thank you so much for telling me about your books. I am looking forward to reading them. I like the way you said that the books are about dealing with TBI everyday and not being a medical book. Your books are exactly what I need to read. I feel as if no one around me understands what it feels like to be a TBI survivor. It can be very frustrating. I will be reading your books, and again~I thank you. Take care, Chris

- OMG I just read and I have to tell u I've said since my accident I wish I would have lost a leg or an arm because people can see and understand that.... No one understands me ... It's so lonely and isolated. My friends I cut off at first because I couldn't understand but they went u r right when ur world is just dr therapist it sucks....my family doesn't get it and that's a whole other story or book then what do u do I wanna run away and live alone but I can't due to fall risks and safety .. All I do know reading your words are such a blessing sad because I hear my voice. I hate tv I have audio books as well I live on my iPad I play scrabble by my self to pass my time I try to keep my brain busy tricking myself it's gonnna fix it. I listen to music and just got back to reading...ok back to book I just am screaming inside as I read this there is someone who knows me.....thanks xoxoxoxo
