thank you for posting this; patience is more than a small virtue when dealing with an injured brain.

I suggest adding that talking on the phone is quite difficult. Talking face to face allows me to use gestures and facial expression to make up for many of the words that I cannot instantly recall and allows me to avoid interruptions These interruptions often cause me to lose track of what I am trying to say and my effort to communicate simply fails.

These are amazing things you have said. Every one applies to my daughter who has TBI. I agree they should be in a packet somewhere!
