LEARNING TO LIVE v2.0 is the name of my new network for Brain Trauma Survivors. LEARNING TO LIVE v2.0 "Learning a New Way of Living After Brain Trauma" Social & Support Network for Survivors of Brain Trauma and Their Supporters. Focusing on Community, Country, Friendships & Fun! http://www.learningtoliveversiontwopointzero.com My name is Pam and I am the creator of the site. I am a Christian.

My husband worked 7 years in the acute care setting at a large teaching hospital as a Certified Rehabilitation RN. WHO I’D LIKE TO MEET Brain trauma survivors of all walks of life and give them a voice. People who have a passion to work with brain trauma survivors and those that have had to adapt because life has thrown them a curve ball, but instead of throwing up their hands and running away, they have grabbed a warm wash cloth and started washing the face of the person they loved. And started making plans for the future. Just a different one than yesterday. Veterans who leave the people and country they love to fight for my freedoms. Who sacrifice daily in ways I can't imagine. Those that sacrifice more and the families of those that sacrificed all, that I might live in the best country. MY NETWORK I named the site LEARNING TO LIVE v2.0 because Brain Trauma Survivors have to learn to live a totally different life than the one they started out to live. And it seems like all we hear these days is upgrades. I also chose the Blue Morpho Butterfly to represent the site. Out of about 24,000 species of butterflies, Blue M
