Just a quick reminder, this Saturday (10/17) will be the October meeting, from 12:45 pm to 3:00 pm in the Casey Conference Room at Swedish Hospital's Cherry Hill campus (17th & Jefferson, Seattle). Drop ins & kids are welcome. It should be an interesting meeting. Some members will be calling in and we'll be talking about 'Stir'!

'Stir': A great read!!
I spent last night reading one of the best books I've read in ages! 'Stir', by Jessica Fechtor (author of the 'Sweet Amandine' blog) is a great book, but those of us in the world of TBIs and other great brain journeys, can identify with her memoir about suddenly going from one life to another, unexpectedly.
I started it last night at 9pm and didn't look at the clock again until 1 am!! I swore I'd read just a chapter more when I got up this morning, but four chapters later I was rushing to get out the door on time.
I immediately emailed members of the group about it. Everyone needs to read this, whether they are new to the experience, a seasoned veteran or anyone around us--friends, family, etc. Can't say enough about this.
