Comment on COTA Case Manager, the Saga Continues by Shireen

LOL at can’t become damaged!

My mother told me too how the same tactic was used by managers on nurses. I’m hoping the new case manager (I updated the post with new info) will work out okay. But must remember that writing-down thing. An old boss instructed me, when I was young and green, on the importance of having everything written down. Thanks for the reminder!

Once again I am gobsmacked.. but pleased you stood your ground and didnt falter.. Fully agree with that I am sorry you feel upset. WE got taught to say that at management classes when they tried to tame fiery charge nurses who wouldnt take NO for an answer..
Hoping you have someone to help you to stand up to them..
all I can say is to demand all their messages to you in writing.. then if that blackmail gets written down you have a case to take to the Human Rights dept… If she doesnt then it never happend, and she cant stop things.
Glad you are so articulate, shows that their brains never developed so cant become damaged.!!

Comment on Colds = Long Recovery for People With Traumatic Brain Injury by Shireen

Shireen — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 11:47:00 +0000

Thank you so much for your comment. It’s a great feeling to know my blog is helping. I’ve heard good things about hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and if not for cost, may’ve tried it myself. I hope it works for your son. I don’t use pain meds because they don’t work for me except in high doses, and I might as well shoot my liver in that case. I use a combo of audiovisual entrainment, CES in Relief session mode (some use TENS but it’s not that effective for me), massage, exercise as in weights and yoga, diet changes and antioxidants, and classical Chinese (not Western style) acupuncture. I don’t think I’ve blogged on the latter… I must do that!
Thank you again for your kind words, and I wish you and your son all the best! It’s a long road but it does get better.

Thank you so much for blogging on TBI. My 10 y.o. son had a concussion back in August, and still has a persistent case of post concussive syndrome with a doctor, who, I am afraid, is willing to let my child be in pain another 6-12 months. We started hyperbaric oxygen therapy a couple of weeks ago, after my child struck out on a third medication for pain management. I wasn’t sure what else to do to help my child. I am interested in finding neurofeedback therapy for my child in my area, but for now we are doing physical therapy for a greatly weakened neck and trying to get in 40 sessions of hyperbarics at 1.5 ATA.

Your blog helps me see the injury for what it is and helps to to explain to my child—his pain, fatigue and misery.

Comment on Mental Work Up + Exercise Staying the Same = Energy Way, Way Down with Brain Injury by Shireen

Shireen — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:45:00 +0000

I haven’t written on initiation deficit per se — something I need to do one of these days, but it’s hard when nothing beats a human being in getting one going. Outside of a therapist or friend or family member willing to sit or talk with you every week or more frequently about what you want to do and to ensure you schedule it in, the iPad is invaluable. I wrote about the two organizing apps I use that help me initiate and complete activities here: http://jeejeebhoy.ca/2010/08/04/best-two-ipad-apps-for-organization/

I also have an iPod Touch that has Pocket Informant on it, so even if I don’t have the iPad with me, at least I have my schedule handy in my pocket wherever I go. And now with iOS 5 including a simple Reminders app, you can schedule and alarm those dinky tasks too, the ones too small to put in a schedule but still won’t get done if something doesn’t remind you.

Internet communities are also great in getting one going. I’ve written a lot about NaNoWriMo, which does that for me and my writing: http://jeejeebhoy.ca/tag/nanowrimo/ I hope that helps or is at least a start!

Yes, yet I’d like to dive back in. Reality and desire collide.

Congratulations.. I look forward to reading it. Have managed to find time to get into She that has sat on my e reader for a few months now… I find it compelling but farm work won the argument for my time.
You must be exhausted, but relieved and pleased.
