coping mechanisms

22 09 2008

 

It was last December when I snapped this picture of Billy using one of his favorite coping mechanisms. When things got too overwhelming for him, he’d just take out one of the multiple “snot rags” he’d have on his person at any given time – hang it over his glasses and check out.  He knew what was best for his brain at the time. Having worked with many brain injury patients over the last three years – I understand some of the things that happened…too much light, too much noise, too much activity, too much stress.  A time out for the brain.

So after a good cleaning of the livingroom today and exorcising all the flu bugs – I went to Blockbuster and got season one of 30 Rock…just like hanging a snot rag over my brain.  There’s not much in life that Tina Fey can’t fix for me.
