***In the US alone there are estimated to be 5.3 million people (more than 2% of the entire population) living with disabilities brought on as a direct result of brain injury. It is the leading cause of death among children and young adults, and it kills 1.5 times more people annually than AIDS.***

And the leading cause for voting Democrat.

Just think, if a President Hillary nominates Judge Greer to the Supremem Court in a few years we can kill 2% of the population and save Social Security and Medicare!

But the brain doesn't get better just on its own. Like a muscle, it requires mental exercise to regain some of its strength.

Conversely the effects of sandbagging (as you put it). Bookmark this.

Ah yes, I remember him! The one who broke Senate rules and refused to pay back almost $200,000 in absence via his unearned wages.

Thankfully this merciful act may have prevented yet more young girls from drowning.

Great!!

However it's the dreams he had during those 19 years that are scary.

Anybody that knows anybody with a stroke knows this. I've seen people that had to learn to speak, walk, and eat all over again. It's the hardest thing to watch, but it can be done. You can teach other parts of your brain to do what the dead parts used to do.

I had an aunt that couldn't speak a word or eat. She also walked with a limp(draged her foot). By the time she died, you could understand most things she said and she fed herself and the limp was barely noticeable. It took several years though.

"In the US.....2% of the entire population..... brain injury."

The problem of brain injury/damage, is FAR more extensive than this article reports.

They've overlooked the 49% of the adult population that voted for Kerry....

Article is clearly another example of MSM bias.

Semper Fi

And how long has Ms. Schindler (Terry Schiavo) been brain damaged? Why doesn't Barb Boxer just walk in with a box cutter and get it over with? Sheez, we wouldn't want to wait 19 years... human life aint worth it!
