@Arney, sorry I didn't respond sooner. Yeah I totally agree with what we understand with TBI, (traumatic brain injury) has gotten much better only b/c of the problems we are having with our military returning with them. Prior to that TBI was a very small and more organic aspect of medicine. Organic as that once you were discharged, your long term care was through local brain injury groups meeting in homes or hospitals.

My massive injury in 1986 which included losing my entire life of memories to amnesia (with no return) had some sort term care but nothing like today. I was lucky my cognitive therapist had just got this really cool new home computer from a company called Apple, and she set my new brain functions for memory to act like folders and files rather than using true memories or emotional connections to images in my mind (for what I had lost-part of my recovery was getting oral historys from my friends).

When I had my last one a couple years ago, they were just finding that those like me that suffered massive TBI 20+ years ago (and ongoing concussions) needed to see doctors to get, for lack of a better term, 'updated' training from the things they just now discovering about TBI and people like me never got.
