I would like to ask all our members of what they feel are the most devastating effects from their or their loved ones brain injury? This, in my opinion, is a hot subject to discuss over the next 2 weeks on our Nationwide Brain Injury Skype Calls staring tomorrow 4/18/12 at 7pm EST. If anyone would like to join our call, please create a Skype profile and message me with your name so I can add you to our call. No camera is needed. |

Dr. Nicole M. Eastman: Posted on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 4:16 PM
 www.drnicolemeastman.comHello, My name is Dr. Nicole M. Eastman and I sustained my traumatic brain injury on December 15, 2010. I was on my way to work when my car was hit by a semi truck on I-696 E near the Van Dyke exit at approximately 65 miles per hour. The initial impact was from behind, which sent my car spinning in a counterclockwise direction. I was then hit in the driver's side, I ...lost consciousness, went under the trailer of the truck per my witness, and there was evidence of two other points of impact on my Chrysler Sebring. |

Here is a video my family was a part of to help the hospital we are with. The first one is not a brain injury incident, but the middle story is, and ours is last.

Remember I began writing this because it’s the easiest way I can express the way I feel. I started writing this to be a poem of some sort. Instead, I wanted it to just flow instead of being too thought out. I have thought of these things here and there over the past year and wrote them down. Now I want to share it with you. Especially tonight.. _______________________________________ People make mistakes their entire lives. I have and I know I have. I have made a number of mistakes. I am learning as a human being I will continue to make mistakes.

Hi! Im Melanie- Im from Lufkin Texas. Well I really don't remember it and Im thinking that is pretty normal, and I'm glad I don't so I can tell you what the person who was also in the car accident told me. I happened to be going through a seperation/divorce with my husband and have two children- Holly 11 and Hunter 17.
During this time we had moved and were living alone together in another house. I was dating another man whose name was Shane.
We happened to have went to a restaurant/bar the night of the accident and my children were at their Dads.

Almost dying 6 times on 10/12/03, it changed my life forever. I was in a automobile accident with a friend. My friend broke his leg in 5 places and left the hospital in a week or so. Luckily he ended up alive! I had fractured both wrists, both ankles, 8 ribs, and my skull. I was supposed to be in the hospital for 2 years but I recovered and I was out in 3 months. We were both totally blessed!
Since, I worked as Event Coordinator for the Council for the Head Injured Community (CHIC) through the Brain Injury Association of New Jersey and also worked at Hartwick at Oak Tree Extended-Care Unit of Johnson Institute in Edison, NJ as a Volunteer Recreational Therapist - providing treatment services and recreation activities for individuals with disabilities or illnesses.
