This post is about how to start a Basic CafePress shop. I got into CafePress because I was looking for some income. A friend of mine introduced me to CafePress, and I liked what I saw. But being me, I researched its competitors, and also being me, sank into a quagmire of indecision. But finally,… Continue reading Starting a CafePress Shop

My COTA Health Case Manager is Driving me to Chocolate
I have a brain injury. That means, through some incomprehensible bureaucratic logic, I receive social work, occupational therapy (OT), physiotherapy, etc. through my local CCAC or Community Care Access Centre, and case management through COTA Health, which stands for something to do with occupational therapy. And they only talk to each other if CCAC makes… Continue reading My COTA Health Case Manager is Driving me to Chocolate
Neck Traction for Whiplash — Relief
I know I talk about my brain injury as if it was the only injury I got from two drivers slamming into the back of the car I was in, but I got others too. That bowling ball on my neck, pulled that stalk one way then the other, straining and spraining it. The seat… Continue reading Neck Traction for Whiplash — Relief
Review: Old City Hall: A Novel
Old City Hall: A Novel by Robert Rotenberg My rating: 3 of 5 stars I was looking for a Canadian mystery writer, and Robert Rotenberg was recommended to me, forget by whom.

Medicine Admits Concussions Bad but Still Doesn’t Understand

It wasn’t long before I was grumbling and had to comment on it. So here are some excerpts with my thoughts. ““The… Continue reading Medicine Admits Concussions Bad but Still Doesn’t Understand
Cocoa Coconut Banana Cupcakes
So there it sat: the small banana ripening at warp speed, too ripe too fast, meaning all it was good for was banana cake. But I only had the one. And I wasn’t in the mood for banana cake. No, what I wanted was chocolate. Deep, dark, mind-altering chocolate. I also had some leftover light… Continue reading Cocoa Coconut Banana Cupcakes
The Hidden Secret of Brain Injury: Hypothalamus Dysfunction
“I’m going to get off the atenolol,” I told my GP, who promptly laughed at me. Well, I might, just might, have the last laugh. I was put on atenolol (a beta blocker) 7 years after I suffered from a closed head injury and began 7 years of 120+ heart rate, of yo-yoing blood pressure,… Continue reading The Hidden Secret of Brain Injury: Hypothalamus Dysfunction
Reading: The Eyes and Brains of It, II
So now you’ve read about the whys of brain-injury created reading problems (and if you haven’t, have a gander at it first), you’re probably wondering: how do I fix it!?! As I mentioned before, going straight to the behavioural model after sustaining a brain injury is an exercise in frustration for the person with the… Continue reading Reading: The Eyes and Brains of It, II
