Brain Injury Help

[belleg1]

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!

Your information is very informative.  I am saying a prayer for you tonight.  You and your husband have been through a lot.  I have Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) myself, but it is a mild case.  I got it while in Iraq back in 2003.  Luckily, the military and Veterans Affairs are getting very good at treating soldiers returning home with TBI.  If you visit Walter Reed, it is just so sad to see some of those young men and women who really have it bad.  Financially, the Army and VA cover almost everything. 

Good luck!!  And thanks for the information.

Thank the Good Lord in Heaven for you and others in the military.  It's good to know that our country takes care of you all so well.  Thank you for your reply so that we civilians learn about what our people in the military are going through.  You all remain in my prayers as always. Bless you.
