Nuggets for April 22
Since I'm a SCI rehab nurse, I always find some of the techniques the therapists use to be pretty interesting.

Pet therapy is a component of many rehabilitation facilities. At Saintarama, the dogs came out on Wednesday nights, so it was always interesting to see how patients would react when they saw 4-6 dogs, big and small on the unit.
While it's not about pet therapy per se, I enjoyed this article about the Pope and cats from this past week. It just goes to prove that pets can make a difference in people's lives, even for the big guy at the Vatican.

TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) is in the news a lot lately, particularly since many members of the military are returning home with this type of injury. For the VA, it is a major research topic.
Here are a couple of links, one linked to a VA research article, and one lay article, from a family's perspective.

The TBI Recovery Network is a 501(c)(3) non-profit in Carlisle, OH, started by the parents of Ashleigh, a TBI patient, and contains information they discovered on the road to her recovery.
