“Overestimates abilities”?
Geez Mom, all in public??
Hello, I enjoyed your website! I have thought of doing on myself for my son Darren. He is 23 now and has had 2 major TBI’s. The first was when he was 16 in 2003. The second when he was 20 in 2006. He is still recovering! I love to here you talk about doing things in life to better yourself! Darren has no expectations in life but to drive! Dont get me wrong, I think he would like to do more than that, but would it be safe for him to do it! After a TBI you have no clue to danger or saying something you shouldnt say to cause problem, not meaning to, but just because it came into your mind to say it! I would love to talk to you again sometime and maybe Darren and Mike could talk too! Thank you for listening, Melissa you can find Darrens story and photos on my Facebook Page if you are interested!
