As you know I was in a vehicle accident, which left me with a TBI. I just want you to know that you are a great example for me and others around you. You have come so far and you just keep climbing that hill. I'm proud of you and I'll be watching to see the wonderful things which await you in the future.

Sorry to bother you with this. However, Dreamhost is allowing the e-mail addresses of those who sign your homepage to be placed on the internet, accessible by anyone who simply puts the author's name into Google search.

I certainly want my e-mail address to remain private. When I read your homepage itself, the addresses appear to be blacked out. However, highlighting makes them obvious, and Google IS reading the e-mail addies and putting them out in plain sight on the internet.

Perhaps you could speak with them about offering you a special type of code in which the e-mail addies remain private? Thank you.

Adieu

Comments:Andi:

Thank you for sharing your story and Homepage. You seem like a remarkable woman and have found the spiritual tools needed to enhance your new way of living and thinking.

I too can relate to your experience. I was a passenger in my auto accident that ocurred on 11/15/02. Don't recall much the day of the accident and vaguely remember waking up in the ICU with IV's and badly bruised totally disoriented, but I knew I was in excruitiating pain. I learned I was injured with a fractured pelvis and TBI. I was hospitalized for a week, and physical healing took 6-8 months and the emotional and mental healing has been a very slow process.

I too am a survivor, and people like yourself give me faith and inspiration when you share your personal stories and your optimism of your experience, strength and hope. I'm definitely a changed person, not that same woman who got in that car voluntarily and woke up a few hours later a stranger to the world.

I carried alot of resentment for a very long time, the "why me's" were overpowering, for I was an innocent party, I had a career, was happy and enjoying life to the fullest. I'm learning forgiveness, have struggled with acceptance and working on moving on in a forward direction. My lawsuit has finally been settled and now waiting for the court date for the disability claim. Closure of these issues will make a difference and allow me to close this particular chapter in my life.

Hugs
Nancy

Comments:Hi Andi

I think your homepage is great. It's fantastic what you guys have overcome and are building. I found your site through the tbi chat group. I don't say much though because a lot of time I have to be switched off from receiving the emails. All the very best to you and everyone, both 2-legged and 4-legged (1, 3,6?)

And if ever the choosing gets tough, hang in there!! Sometimes I think the hardest thing about the tbi was losing the ability to choose.
