Crazy. Recently noticing what probably not too many others see. I’ve been awakened to more dear people adversely affected by the horrors of brain trauma, and this has occurred on a daily basis. Physicians, courts, employers, and the government all turn a blind eye to these souls in despair. I am working frivolously on the case of Donna Frank to help her get disability. What she has had to endure makes me gasp. A gentleman I meet with weekly, Frank Lott, has his share of troubles. A stolen mind along with the inability to walk. Physically, we hope to get better but what about all other areas? It has been a joy to work closely with the local hospital and mentor those with brain trauma. Their monthly TBI support group is amazing. One of my sweet friends there, Jordan Hendrix, also has been plagued by this “invisible injury.” Multiple similarities, yet our cases differ extensively regarding extent, affects, and outlook. Watching her persevere against all odds is amazing. She has absolutely been a great influence on me. I have been blessed, also, to be a part of a facebook brain injury support group. Thank you, thank you whoever put it together. Happy again but sad. Glad there are so many of us to rally behind one another, but sad for how many instances of this dreaded reality there are. One of the sweet ladies, in fact, may be the subject of one of my next books. Jaime Whitlock has been through ordeal after ordeal related to her brain injury. We want to shed light on some of the hurtful and harmful things that are occurring. Particularly her, but even on a national and international scale.
