Howdy all, I want to introduce myself.
I'm Coll, a below knee amputee with PTSD and TBI along with some other major health problems. I live in the home I raised my two sons and a few dozen foster children with my husband of over 37 years.

It is good to see you posting here, not many people use the forums
I would like to see the forum get much more active. There are some things that are better discussed in this format than the chat room. I personally think that both venues are important for mutual support and friendship.
Hi! I'm also new and posting from the Colorado Rockies.
I have developmental and learning disabilities, and some fairly minor physical disabilities- reading issues (I know what the words mean but can't get anything to absorb by reading so I listen instead)
dyscalculia (like dyslexia but for numbers)
Sensory processing disorder
Also depression, used to have anxiety
In 2011 I fell in the ice and got a herniated disc in my lower back. It hurt tremendously at first, but now it's manageable since I've adjusted the way I do things.
Greetings, all!!!

Yutolia, Welcome
With my TBI I also have a hard time absorbing things I read. I have listen to it several times though to remember it. I'm finding I have to write down things be able to remember.

Is good to see more people, welcome, Yutolia, I am a spastic Quadriplegic from a hypoxic brain injury. I have no effective memory, so every day is new.

Hello Coll. I have four TBI's (two severe, one serious, one mild), PTSD, herniated disks throughout my back and most of my neck. Alone with a variety of knee & hip injuries. The joys of being hit by a drunk driver. Colorado is my home-state, but now live in Utah.
Welcome aboard!

Cactus Jack,
I born Utah. Guess it doesn't matter which side of the Rockies are on, they are home.
