Hello all, sorry I’ve been a little slow in formally introducing myself to the group. I blame my “first time snowbird” status, having escaped to Florida for a while where I’ve taken time off and tele-worked less than usual. I’ve met many Midwesterners while here and we universally agree that breaking up winter with warmer temps and less outerwear as well as trading boots for flip flops is swell, and a luxury for which we are all grateful.

Anyway, Anne here. I’ve met everyone by phone but by way of a short recap, I’m a nurse and researcher at Mayo about to hit my 35 year anniversary, all in brain injury care, rehabilitation, and research. Which means I know some about the things you are discussing, but my vantage point differs as a provider because I haven’t “walked a mile in your shoes”. I’ve learned loads of important things from the many people with injuries I’ve interacted with over the years, as I'm already learning from you. I'd like to honor everyone's experiences and willingness to share by paying it forward and supporting each other here.

Let's use my intro to get things re-ignited. How are you doing today? What's one thing that you're grateful for today?
