YOU ARE INVITED!

putthis_on_calendar_clip_artIt only takes a split second for lives to change forever.

Rosemary was immediately thrust into caregiver mode as Hugh was reduced to helplessness. Rosemary’s book, “Learning by Accident: A Caregiver’s True Story of Fear, Family, and Hope,” details, in an easy-to-read story, how she and Hugh, with their two daughters, picked up the broken pieces of their lives and glued them back together.

YOU ARE INVITED!

putthis_on_calendar_clip_art

Allan Bateman - Preventive & Rehabilitative Therapist

Allan Bateman – Preventive & Rehabilitative Therapist

Therapy to name a few. Because of the duration and intimacy of therapies, often survivors develop strong relationships with their therapists. That’s what happened when Preventive and Rehabilitative Therapist, Allan Bateman entered my husband’s (and my life). Allan sees his client as a whole person and individualizes each client’s therapy to fit his or her needs. Allan will share his ideas with my listeners.

“Another Fork in the Road” . . . Brain Injury Radio Network Catherine (Cat) Brubaker’s and Dan Zimmerman’s Reflections – Triking Across America

YOU ARE INVITED!

putthis_on_calendar_clip_art

It took Catherine (Cat) Brubaker and Dan Zimmerman 5 months and 5,300 miles to cross the USA (diagonally) on recumbent trikes. Blowouts, tumbles, and close encounters with bears and wild turkeys still left plenty of time to meet folks at the heart of our country. It also left time to get lost in one’s own mind. Cat and Dan rode to raise awareness for TBI and for Stroke, but I wonder what awareness they discovered within themselves along their journey. And, I mean to find out. 🙂

What:        Interview with Catherine (Cat) Brubaker and Dan Zimmerman.

Why:        Cat and Dan will look inward and share their innermost thoughts.
