Brain Injury Radio

Please join me, Lisa Dryer, and my friend, Susan Dampf Stanton, on "Mess With MS," on October 8th. On https://www.blogtalkradio.com/braininjuryradio Sunday at 5:30 PM Pacific, 7:30 PM Mountain, and 8:30 PM Eastern. You can listen to the show by calling 424-243-9540 at your local time. You can even call in and talk to us during the interview! If you miss the program, you can access it anytime on the Brain Injury Radio Network in our archives. This program is about how a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis can change your life. It's FOR anyone with a chronic condition or those interested in learning more about MS, Brain Injury, Lupus, Cancer, Stroke, Migraine, Lyme, and other health issues. MS is one of the most debilitating neurological diseases. IT CHANGED MY LIFE when I discovered that I was diagnosed with it. Our show tonight will be about a NEW stage of life that Susan and I are both experiencing: Middle Age! While most people's mid-life cycles are filled with work and children, that does not happen for all people with disabilities. In fact, we have to deal with the usual grief and loss that most middle-aged people have to deal with -- watching their parents age and seeing some of their friends get older or even pass away...How does someone with compromised health deal with all of this? I'd love it if YOU joined our discussion!

Kim and Co-Host Caren Robinson Discuss Resources and Support for the Brain Injury Community - Where do we find these things. The merit of doing so, as well as the challenges can be daunting. This show is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life's terms. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery. This is a "we" recovery program, because it is in the "we," that we find the new "me." We focus on the four A's of Recovery: Awareness, Acceptance, Action and Adaptation. This is a place for survivor's striving to become thrivers - which takes a huge Warrior spirit! Front part of show is a featured guest. The second is Open Mic and some great Indy Music sure to inspire!

Every TBI survivor and caregiver has encountered a fork in the road that has diverted his or her life-plan. A car accident, a fall from the roof, doing one more chin-up, or a door literally slamming one in the face are just some causes of traumatic brain injury. College plans, walking down the aisle in the perfect dress, or the coveted job quickly slip from reality as dreams turn to struggle. These unexpected life-happenings that divert one from his or her chosen path in life can be devastating. But as Yogi Berra once said, "If you come to a fork in the road, take it." Life is all about choices! To learn more about me, please visit my blogs. Surviving Traumatic Brain Injury Blog: survivingtraumaticbraininjury.com Donna's Blog: donnaodonnellfigurski.wordpress.com
