Using this Site

Beth and Larry Jameson, authors of Brain Injury Survivor's Guide, welcome you to Brain-Injury-Online.com. Our mission is to provide brain injury victims and their family members with a wealth of resources for living with brain injury.

Links

Our links let you know they're links. When you move your mouse pointer over an active link, it will highlight itself. See Our Sitemap below. That's what it looks like when it's sitting in the corner waiting to be asked to dance. Just look how excited it gets when approached by your mouse pointer. It's just shouting, "Choose me, choose me."

Our Sitemap

Think of Our Sitemap as this website's long term memory with frontal lobe executive functions. Not only does it remember everything that is on the site, it has the information organized to make it easy for you to find. It also contains links to all articles on this website and a link to our sister website, BrainInjuryGuide.org, where there are many, many more articles, games, videos and more!

Searching for Information

Searching for information expands your resources. Our search feature includes all of this website, all pages on Brain Injury Guide.org and we've even thrown in credit card information from Credit Cards for America.com. Give it a try by clicking here.

Site Navigation

Think of Site Navigation as your memory prompt. It contains links to the major sections of this website. Brain Injury Resources provides resource information for every state. Just go to that page, click on your state, and take a look at what's available.

Be Nice Rules

Since a lot of lawyers will be visiting this site because we talk about 'em, we had to put together a rather formal Terms Of Use policy and Privacy Policy. Basically it says if you don't steal from us, we won't steal from you. If you ever give us any personal information you do not want shared with the world, we promise not to share it. Of course, we want you to feel free to tell everyone about us, our book, and our websites. You can even tell folks that all the fish in our aquarium died; we're not real good with fish.

Our Brain Injury Experience

Beth sustained a brain injury in 1990. At the time, it was called a closed head injury because her skull wasn't cracked. It was also referred to as a mild head injury, and I'm sure there are a lot of veterans who can identify with that term. When she "woke up" after nearly two weeks in a medically induced coma, she did not remember that she had a husband and children.

She had no peripheral vision, but she did have severe migraine headaches every few days. She could not remember names and she could not perform math calculations. Of course, names were not the only things she couldn't remember. She came face to face with all of the big three: memory problems, cognitive problems and behavioral problems.

We are not medical professionals. You should not take anything we say here as medical advice. Even though you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who has studied living with brain injury more than we have, always keep in mind that our information is based on what worked for us.

Think of us as a couple of people sitting in your brain injury support group who have a lot of experience living with brain injury. We can share hundreds of things that worked for us, and we will. A lot of what we will share on this website will take you to information close to your home where you can meet with other survivor's, family members, professionals and, even, lawyers who can provide assistance for your personal situation.
