  “I’m a case manager. I’ve heard it, seen it, and written a goal for it ” No pictures in this one, I am afraid. Technical problems, but I'll update once I sort them out. A  single  motivation behind this (uncharacteristically upbeat) post. But... Two different  (so please forgive its disjointed nature!) related issues (worth reporting upon) occurred to me.

As I have mentioned before in this blog, a sharing of my brain injury  survivor’s journey  is a very important (to me, at least) feature of my rebuilt (actually, more a case of  being  rebuilt) life.
