Hi All,
  My name is Randy Harris.  Although I am not disabled I live with my Father 
(age 56) who has suffered a massive stroke, (left hemiparisis, cognitive, and 
other  affects) and my brother (age 31) who has suffered a (closed) head 
injury (7/15/89) in an auto accident.  My brother is still is going to 
therapy and is making (slow but steady) progress.  He has a speech problem, 
right hemiparisis, walks with a quad-cane, and also has a reasoning/cognitive 
problem.... he also cut off his left index finger in a seperate (industrial) 
accident, so he is down to writing/typing with four fingers on his left hand 
(he was righty before head injury).
  If I can offer any info/assistance to anyone in regards to stroke or head 
injury or related problems.....don't hesitate to ask.
  If anyone is a head injury survivor and would like to communicate with my 
brother (his name is Ron Harris, Framingham) leave a message and I will 
assist him in responding.  
  
 
  Randy Harris
