Many residuals can be new issues we grapple with after Brain Injury. Difficulty focusing without getting distracted is one of those. This intrusion can become frustrating and make us angry. It was on one of those days, many of us survivors began to refer to this as "something shiny". To survive around this community, it helps to have a sense of humor. We are intent on the task in front of us, and suddenly something shiny pulls us away, and when we return .. the bread crumbs have blown away! Tonight co-host Caren Robinson and I will discuss your shiny distractions, what we can do to mitigate and maybe a few other life alterations to compensation for after brain injury. We also want to pay tribute to the heros of 9-11, and prayers to the fallen of that game changing day that defines a few generations thereafter. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families.
