FYI - If you know someone who has suffered a brain injury during an accident there may be state assistance that can help them financially, adapting their home to accomadate their new mobility needs, etc. In Kentucky it's called the Brain Injury Trust Fund. I don't know about other states but it should be easy to find out if your state offers this type of assistance. I wouldn't have known about it if not for the traumatic head injury I suffered in 2008 when my husband and I were t-boned while riding our Harley motorcycle. Red tape being what it is it takes time to get requests through the review board as it has in my case and others but for someone in need it can be worth the wait. Believe me after a bad brain injury you're simply glad to wake each morning and breathe - I feel it's a gift from God, a second chance some may think. Anyway, just wanted to make everyone aware that there may be help out there for things you would never think that there would be. Hope you and those close to you never suffer injury and need help, but sh*t happens we all know.
Stay safe out there. There are too many people who can hurt/kill you simply because they aren't paying attention as they should be.
You are all special and we want to keep you with us!
