Mr. Johnson,
My name is Teri Curington and I am finishing my graduate work this semester at The University of Texas at Tyler’s College of Nursing. I have worked in the field of ER medicine and neurological intensive care, working with patients who have suffered traumatic brain injuries, among other severe neurological injuries.
The purpose of this email is to request your permission to use some of the information and clip-art photo’s displayed at the website: http://www.waiting.com in a presentation I am going to be conducting in April. This presentation is a course requirement and will not be used for any other purpose.
The ‘Waiting’ website is one of the best I have seen which explains in detain and in plain English, brain injuries. In fact, I have recommened this site to several families whose loved ones have suffered severe head trauma (…and could use a good lawyer)!
Very Respectfully,
TCurington RN, BSN, NC USN
We granted this request and asked that she write us back with a copy of her presentation, which we will post when we receive it.

Attorney Johnson:
Hello. Thank you very much for the tbi law website and for the waiting.com page. It helped me a great deal to be able to communicate to others that *there is hope*.
I had forgotten about waiting.com until I asked the “high functioning” TBI online support group to which I belong for some recommendations for someone new to TBI. TBI Law was one of the recommendations.
I don’t know how many people view my and Megan’s story, but if possible, could you please change my contact email address to jodymo@pobox.com ? I hate to think that someone tried to contact me and thought I just didn’t answer because the email address is out of date.

Thank you in advance for your time.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Twelve years ago, my co-author Rebecca Martin and I created http://waiting.com and its Bridge from Despair. The Bridge from Despair was perhaps the first collection of a series of anecdotal comments from those who had lived thru the ordeal of a loved one in a coma. In an interesting post note, I got this email today from one of its contributors. It is a nice reminder of the efforts we put in at the beginning of our advocacy, when brain injury information on the web was still a new idea.
