Hippy Easter!  Hoppy, Happy, HooRah! Easter Day.  Jesus was Resurrected this day 2017 years ago - and somewhere your Survivor-self did too since then.  Resurrected, not reincarnated - that's another show.  Remember, Jesus shared all - resurrection isn't a private Jewish thing.   Eggs found and food ate, dishes washed.  Choco Bunny's chomped; Easter is over, unless you're listening in.  Because it...

Jennifer Goodman, my Co-Host is studied up (as well as 'antsy') about being educated about Dementia/CTE.  Me too, my doc and I have 'brushed' along the subject since day 378.  Hillbilly Jim Smith and his darling wife Shelia are planning for a HUGE Dementia Awareness BBQ Cookout the last weekend of April, and Jen's happy about her month's schedule.  Me too.   I plan on donating my brain to Boston U...

Erin Fox lives in Hartford, NY.  Key word being LIVES.  An adventurer of life, Erin rides planes, canoes, boats and during one motorcycle spree, it turned ugly for the so pretty then 22-year old.  Strokes, Seizures and 'routine' traumatic brain injury issues soon followed.  14-years later - Erin walks on!  "Anything to do with nature, I love" she told me.   A twin from a family of five, Erin spend...

The continuing saga of Brain Injury continues, of course, on TMDS & Jen (yes, I change the show's name - wow, at least 100 cohosts and never done that before) during Brain Injury Awareness Month  - - - and beyond!  We're taking our TBI's back home again to Indiana where we meet up with Kevin Wurster of Brownsburg.  In May of 2014, less than a year after being saved, he was involved in a crimin...

Let's talk pot, weed, cannabis, medical and recreational marijuana in America.  27 States agree with Medical MJ for up to 27 chronic conditions, or as low as one - seizures.  Cancer discussions of a cure are often off and on the table.  Colorado see's an influx of citizens in search of medication.  The medical migration looks for a better quality of life, legal life.  Indiana NORML Vice President...

Friend of the Show, Mother, Star, Survivor, Thriver (times a zillion), well, children's television show host turned singer/songwriter/carpenter Miss Sharen Wendy Robertson graces us tonight to discuss life, liberty, and getting yourself UPP!  Yes, I spelled it right (spell check), UPP.  Uniting People for Peace.    A determined Harvard graduate, Sharen was Boston Strong before the community realiz...

The studio is filled with beautiful survivors of brain injury, and me. I like the "and me" part because joining Jennifer Goodman and I tonight is the precious Alisa Marie. She'll discuss much, including her BI's, her work for BI's and The Learning Man play, Art with TBI, and her life.   Alan Wilbar is a brain injury survivor, and 'The Learning Man' she works with. Hoping he calls as well.  He's Al...

Jen returns for 'medical absence' to lead the show in a new direction, or possibly, the same direction.  Do we have a direction?   My direction is full of a half-witted brain, concussed yet refusing to accept the bumps and bangs because I DON"T HAVE TIME TO WAIT!  Let's face it, we feel at times we're on borrowed times, and time is of the essense.  We are prepared, or at least MORE prepared to die...

I'm present and accounded for, therefore TMDS will be LIVE! from the Downtown Milton Studio #2.  Superbowl is on, big deal.  I'll peek in.  But its not the Colts playing, so I only wish Bill Bellycheat and Bad Brady the worse - like any ordinary NFL week.  My Co-host Jennifer Goodman is away from studio tonight ASLEEP &/or cheering Atlanta Falcons on.  Southern Bell, football and illness reque...

The 'Healthy Brain', as is naturally without birth defects, meant to be, is discussed.  A lobes, all touched on.  But not too much, you've had enough touches up there  To understand our brain, and our issues caused by brain damage, we should first understand the brain.  It's long and deep subject, yes.  (It's Sunday - sing with the choir "Deep, and Wide.  Deep, and Wide.  There's a Fountian flowin...

"Ya dig deeper for gold; and what do you get?  Another day older and"------hey, stop right there!  In disregard to Tennessee Ernie Ford's long-ago song, another day older is good enough for me.  Now, indeed I have thoughts, plans, GOALS and ideas, but my favorite day is tomorrow.  Following ALL THOSE DAMNED DEATHS, tomorrow is good enough for me.   Resolutions are for the drunk-minded on New Years...

Spending Thanksgiving Day alone.  I not only am, again, I hope to.  Gobble Gobble...

Rough week in TMDS world of TBI.  Myself, for certain.  My Co-Hosts, probably.  Melissa Meep and Sam Way have TBI's everyday, like me.  Each day is a struggle, from wiggling our toes to see we are alive a awake thru a double/triple shower past burning lunch to forgetting to take your meds.  It can be a struggle.  Do God's 'regular' folks understand?  A few try, most don't.  Many family members and...

Nope, not a Comedy Club where folks make fun of TBI, in fact let US TBI Survivors enjoy a night on the "town" (well, Connersville anyway)!  Draining, a bit, sure.  But smiled, laughed, observed, enjoyed, visited and certanly, was ready to go home.  But after the show, which was over by 'funtastic' 10 p.m.  Yes, in time for meds and beds.
