It has been a while. things are still very difficult but, I am moving along. I am hoping to get a real job soon, I just filled an application for Dunkin' Doughnuts. Now we have to get the people here to play ball...

Jack

I have a team meeting today hopefully we can get some things worked out.

Jack

I have been trying to fight off this Brain Injury for almost 30 years and although some good has come of it a lot of bad has also. There are thing I am going to have to accept are not going to change and I will have to work with things the way they are.

Jack

I have been struggling with my walking but, I have been for 30 years. I am on some medications that cause me to think more about everything. This can be good in some aspects yet stressing on others. I will get by, I hope.

Jack

The mornings are very tuff for me, I went back to caffeine and that helped a little but, sitting most of the day doesn't.

I am feeling OK so far I did get some medium caffeine coffee. I do not feel as weak with none and my balance is still off but, I'll live with that.

Well I am trying the decaf and I just feel weaker and a little less stress.

Jack

hopefully the change to decaf coffee will help my mood. I will start tomorrow.

Jack

I did not have decaf yet this morning and I still am feeling high stress I hope to try it tomorrow.

Jack

I am going to try decaf coffee to see if it helps. wish me Luck

Jack

going to the dentist today oh joy

Jack

You have to watch out for having too much coffee in the morning or really anytime during the day. We may need some to 'wake up' but, too much hurts.

Jack

This part of rehab is very hard and very lonely. I did bring it all on myself which is even harder on me. If you don't know, one thing about head injury is we spend a lot of time thinking and talking about ourselves.

Jack

Still here...

I am dealing with a lot of problems with this rehab and new medication doses. I am sorry I have not been posting for a while, I will try to post more often.

Jack

I would like to say my feelings go out to all affected by SANDY over the past days.

Jack

I am trying to stay very busy,

I do not have as much free time as I would like or it may be a symptom of my T.B.I. take limits the postings on here? But, if you check my site you can see some of what I am doing. A lot of relationship confusion also may play some part. I am feeling thing will turn out better this year. If the Mayans arn't right....:-)

Things went well but, not very well attended...

"Sunday, December 11, I hosted a fundraising effort for the Fighting Back
Scholarship Program in Malvern at Totaro's Restaurant in Conshohocken. I
displayed most of my artwork that I have painted over the years and Cortiva
Institue - Pennsylvania School of Massage Therapy of King of Prussia donated
chair massages and gift certificates. Justin Dennis of DSC Legends
donated sports memorabilia including classic sports photographs and other
vintage sports items. My friend, Andrew Totaro, hosted the event at his
restaurant and featured special pricing for those who attended. I hope to
make this a regular event and I am looking forward to working with the
Fighting Back Scholarship Program in the future."
