Hi,
I am Bob Keeland and am originally from nw Arkansas. High School grad 1971, BS at SMSU MO 1975, MS U of AR 1978, US army 1978 - 1987 (pvt to sp4 in the infantry at Schofield Barracks HI, then OCS at Ft Benning GA, then LT to CPT in Combat Engineers), Ph.D. at U of GA 1994. Research ecologist at the National wetlnds Research Center of the USGS in Lafayette LA 1992 to 2008. Traumatic Brain Injury on Jan 27, 2008. Spent 2 1/2 weeks in the hospital and then 2 1/2 month in the Timber Ridge Ranch brain injury recovery center.
I've been a fan of Stephen King's books for many years. My favorite is The Shining. I read The Shining while visiting my parents. The book was so good that I read most of the night. The next morning while taking a shower the drain gurgled. After reading The Shining the sound of the gurgling drain made me jump.

Oh my goodness. If a gurgling drain made you jump from The Shining, IT would put you right out of your skin!

Welcome. A long hotel corridor had that affect on me for ages!

I can't go into a bathroom without thinking of IT.

Welcome Bobby! First, thank you for your service. And, I hope that you see continued improvement with your brain injury. Keep reading and exercise your brain!

The reason that I joined this forum is specifically because Stephen King has shown some understanding of brain injury in at least two books - 11/22/63 and Duma Key. I appreciate that. Most medical doctors don't have a clue when it comes to traumatic brain injury. That is according to my experience and the American Brain Injury Association web page. I will probably start a TBI thread on the 11/22/63 area.
