Traumatic Brain Injury Chat Room
hello to all my fellow TBI Survivors and familey members! this chat room was designed for people that have recived a tbi or that has a familey member with a
Everyone’s working hard on this new TBIChat Room so please greet new people when they enter a room.
Personal information should not be given out in the TBI there is no way to tell who is really typing on that other end. Each person in the Chat Room assumes all risks of sharing personal info.
Here are some basic chat room rules of proper etiquette that will help your chat room experiences be more pleasant for you as well as the others in the room.
Rule Number One- This is probably the most important rule. Do not verbally abuse, attack, embarrass, or threaten anyone else in the chat room, no matter what they might say to you. You are bound to find some troublemakers on the Internet. But, the best way to deal with them is to just ignore them or simply leave the room.
Rule Number Two- Do not use obscene, offensive, or sexually explicit language. You don’t need to use this kind of language in order to speak to someone or to get your point across to others.
Rule Number Three- Never type your messages in by using all capital letters. On the Internet, this is considered to be screaming or yelling at another person, and, of course, this is nothing short of rude. If you want to *emphasize* a word or phrase, simply type an asterisk in before and then directly after your word or phrase. This is a widely recognized way to get your point across without being rude.
Rule Number Four- When you are entering a chat room, you should always greet everyone whether you know them or not. Be sure to wait until there is a lull in the conversation already in progress, though. Don’t interrupt. And, when someone else enters the room, you should make it a point to at least recognize their presence and greet them with a friendly “Hi (their screen name)!”
Rule Number Five- Don’t speak unless you know what the conversation is about first. And, in speaking while in a chat room, don’t type in long, detailed messages that will take allot of time and space. Also, never interrupt someone else. Be patient; you will get your chance to speak.
By following these rules, your chat room experiences can be positive ones. You can make new friends and connect with others who share your same interests.

Hey Donnie, this is Chris mother again – just wanted to tell you I think you are AWESOME and I hope and pray my son has the drive you did to recover. What did you parent do to push you? Where did you go for inpatient treatment after the ICU!
You are such an inspiration to me since there are not many Hypoxics out there that I have seen!
God helped me find you!
Hi, my name is Tim. I am writing in regards for my grand daughter who suffered from Hypoxia from surgury. Her name is Jalyn who is 10 years old. I am looking for any positive hope and help possible.
Thank you
Just wanted to say hi…and I was in a wreck in October and have TBI. You know the drill I am sure, OT, PT, Speech Therapy, neuropsych testing….
Then the frustration and anxiety with everything.
I give you props for putting all your business out here….
Good luck to you!!!!!
that sounds a good bit like my chain of events but mine started 11/08. Don’t worry – it gets better – I’m not sure when the frustration will get behind you…I think it has to do with “acceptance”… (what I call the”A” word)
Hi Donnie – I’m new to your site….will watch videos and read as time allows, but hope you can answer a question for me: (I am mom to Abby who suffered TBI 9/2/08 at age 18. Abby is minimally responsive yet understands most of what is said to her. Ab moves very little – she’s “locked in” living at home since 9/30/09 after year in rehabs.) Constipation! Did you experience problems and what did you do about it? Unfortunately, Ab’s MD put her on Senna syrup and Colace over a year ago and constipation is an ongoing battle for her. Any suggestions?
Donny,
