Gill C Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 hi & welcome JO. I m sure you find lots of help & support on here on your journey. Speak to you soon xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hi Jo, It sounds as though you've got a great deal of determination and well done with the exercise bike, as it can only improve your stamina! Yes, the tiredness is the pits after a brain injury and I don't know anybody that doesn't suffer from it, even though it does improve with time. I can see that you live in the United States ... is GA Georgia? xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallym25 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hi Jo, The last couple of years must've been so hard for you to deal with. Hopefully now you've found us here you will be calling in more often and I'm sure it will help you to have people to chat to about it all. It has definately helped me realise I'm not the only one dealing with such hard times. I'm quite amazed to discover so many people have gone through it, and how many more, will still have to!. The human race seems to be a bit ignorant unless it is happening to us personally. Most of us seem to have had no idea what an SAH even was till it "slapped us in the face". I look forward to hearing all about you. Sally xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winter Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Welcome Jo! Sounds like you have made some remarkable recovery!!! Good for you. I think I recognize your name from another SAH site? BTG has been wonderful for me - great people here, wonderful support group. So many times I have felt so alone with my recovery, but I know I can come here and there is ALWAYS help I see you're my neighbor. GA is lovely! We vacationed in Helen and surrounding towns 2 yrs. ago and loved it. Thought about moving there, even! Hope to hear more from you. Take care and be well, Carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin-lin Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hi Jo Welcome to BTG. We seem to have a few American cousins joining of late! It's nice to extend the group! I'm sorry you've been through the mill and acknowledge that your difficulties have been more challenging than most. I am certain we will learn a lot from you, especially in how to adapt to our new lives. Look forward to hearing more from you. Take care, Lynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
