Hi Katie,
I had a re-injury to an already bad injury back in 2006. But I am
progressing, in spite of doctors saying it will never be enough to put
me back to a real life, working and all. I am thrilled to just not be
at the nursing home functioning level. I am able to manage living at
home, and managing everything inside and outside....able to drive a
bit. Yahoo!! For 2 years after the March 2006 slip on ice I was a
mess. Really unable to manage at any level....not even my medication.
Very slowing, then quickly, about a year ago things dramatically changed
for the better. I believe a good diet and doing new/novel things helps
reconnect the brain. I still have problems with aphasia, math problems,
executive function slow down from the recent car accident but strongly
believe things will continue to get better.

I never dreamed I could get to this level. Playing, learning completely
new things....new language....new places...anything novel seems to grow
new brain connections. Yes eat those fresh veggies, and extra virgin
oil like from coconut and olive, every 3 hours during the
day.....repairs nerve/brain.

BioSil is an old product but new to me. It has helped restore bone loss
from bad surgeries. Doctors claimed that only with bone grafts could
problems be improved.......not true!!! In a 4 month period one area is
90% restored, and in another is 75%........I will wait until Medicare
will cover to do bone scan to hips to see what has happened there. But
remember that your Vit D levels must be good from sun or supplements and
the Mg+/Ca+ levels good.

Let's just see how good you are in a few years.....can't wait to meet
the new, recharged Katie.
