I was on campus yesterday and went walking around. While I was there I went over to the journalism building to talk to someone I know in KOSU and then stopped by the O'Colly's office. I also sent an email to some contacts in the Oklahoma Self Advocates Network. Hopefully this will help get word out about the activities next month. The student senate at Rose State is in the process of selecting a person to be the TBI Raiders representative for the senate. This is an important issue that needs to be addressed. There were over a million a million who were already living with a Traumatic Brain Injury before we started fighting terrorists. Then now with all the veterans who have suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury, this is ridiculous that nothing is set up to help survivors. Something that goes hand in hand with Traumatic Brain Injury is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. For further information on this please take a look at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3182010/. To look at more facts on TBI to see how much of an important issue that needs to be addressed, take a look at:

This impacting our economy greatly. By improving the quality of life for those living with a Traumatic Brain Injury, I think it would help boost the economy.
