**Update, July 2016. Phineas has left the building! On June 23, 2016 we took Phineas Gage to the Warren Anatomical museum in Boston where he will be reunited with his skull and tamping iron. Although we have enjoyed our 40+ years as his custodians we believe he is so important to the history of medicine that he is better in their care.
December 2009 - The January issue of the Smithsonian Magazine has an article on our Gage daguerreotype.
Thank you, Michael Spurlock for looking at an image that has been looked at by many, many people and seeing the possibilities that no one else saw! Thank you also for the comment you posted in December, 2008. It continues to be an exciting journey.
* Note that I have added a statement at the end of this description about usage.
The daguerreotype above is making a return visit to flickr after an absence of more than six months. It was first posted in December 2007 when I was a new flickr user. The title then was "Daguerreotype - One Eyed Man with Harpoon" which was what we thought it was when we acquired it over 30 years ago. There was some discussion with members of the Whaling group about the identification of the rod he is holding. It was decided that it was not likely a harpoon. What was it?
In December 2008 there was a post that sent us off in a new direction. A flickr member posted a comment "maybe you found a photo of Phineas Gage? If so, it would be the only one known." A quick Google introduced us to the bizarre life of Phineas Gage and we were hooked.
Over the last six months we have read, researched, made road trips, and contacts we never dreamed of. We have been to the Warren Anatomical Museum at the Harvard Medical School in Boston to see Gage's life mask, skull, and tamping iron. We have been to Cavendish, VT where Gage met with his fateful accident. We have corresponded and collaborated with the world's leading authority on Gage. Amazingly we have also written an article that will be published in the Journal of the History of the Neurosciences in August, 2009. We also have posted a web site Meet Phineas Gage.
If you do not know the story of Gage, his accident, and his place in medical history, we suggest to Google his name or check out the links page on our site.
We are amazed at the ability of the internet to share information. If we had not posted this image on flickr for a sharp eyed member to see, we would still be calling this "The Whaler" holding a harpoon. Thanks to flickr and to Michael Spurlock.
This photo was taken to protest the way the Ontario government benefitted the auto insurance companies at the expense of people injured in crashes and the taxpayers of Ontario. More and more companies are given ways to avoid paying out claims, leaving taxpayers to pick up the health care costs and lose the lost revenue from treatable injuries ending up in permanent disability due to lack of timely health care.
I used it to illustrate my post on the 2018 Ontario election: pario.blogspot.com/2018/06/as-you-may-have-heard-renata-f...
Day 3 or so of the coma. In the Neuro-ICU of Westchester Medical Center, early September 04. See notes.
One of the more remarkable things about Lizzie's accident is that, apart from the TBI (traumatic brain injury) and a few bruises on her legs, she didn't have a single inward or outward injury. No broken bones, no cuts or scrapes, no nothing. Just something called Diffuse Axonal Injury, meaning that her myelin sheaths (coatings on the axons of the neurons in her brain) were "sheared."
I was looking for my MRI to work on an image for my upcoming crowdfunding campaign to update my book Concussion Is Brain Injury when I discovered I had my SPECT images too. Ack! Those actually show the damage to my brain. Very hard to see. So what to do? Why, make art with it!
BIST (Brain Injury Society of Toronto) just happened to be holding art therapy the day after I found my SPECT scan, so I wrestled with my computer, which suddenly decided to work at glacial speed -- REALLY PC? -- to produce a printout that I whipped out of the printer as I ran out the door and used as the basis for my work during our art moment. I have no idea what I was expressing, but apparently that's what art therapy is all about: just paint. And feel better!
I scanned it in and stitched it together with Microsoft software. Easier than doing it in Corel because the software did it!
The original is a photo of a Vimy Ridge Sculpture at the Canadian War Museum I took over Christmas 2015.

I rode my tricycle today. I didn’t go too far and my brain has trouble communicating with my arms so when I think right, I turn left. Ugh…

I modified my Decmber 2012 abstract to create this abstract for the new group , Cronic Invisible Illness, and SeCoNdSyLvIe (a group admin). I deliberately softened the colors to signify the hurt people have with a cronic invisible illness. They are not always cheerful, and colorful.
In the groups words:
You LOOK healthy. You may have FIBROMYALGIA, CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME, FM/CFS/CFIDS/ME....or LUPUS...DIABETES, MENTAL ILLNESS.....
People do not see you as a sick person. Yet you have CHRONIC INVISIBLE ILLNESS and people MAY think you are 1. CRAZY, 2. LAZY or 3. IT IS ALL IN YOUR HEAD.......
This group is a SUPPORT GROUP for all people in FLICKR who suffers from Chronic Invisible Illnesses.......the list is long....and who want a SAFE haven from being labelled, discounted, invalidated or made into a pariah.
DISCUSSION in this group has been made private.
Not everybody wants to broadcast their illnesses to the world....so please join...first....
WHO SHOULD JOIN - people with Chronic Invisible Illness and their friends and families and supporters.
MORE EXAMPLES OF INVISIBLE ILLNESSES
Examples of invisible conditions are arthritis, asthma, brain injury, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain of most types, Cushing's syndrome, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, endometriosis, heart disease, lupus, Lyme disease, Meniere's disease, migraine, multiple sclerosis in the early stages, neurological and seizure disorders, osteoporosis, organ transplant, and Parkinson’s disease.

Brain Storm play. World première. Opening Night. Dancemakers Studio in the Distillery. Front row seats are on the same plane as the stage, kind of strange. Unobstructed view ftw!
I was the brain injury consultant and dramaturge (editor) for it. It’s been a fabulous experience working with Taliesin McEnaney, the director, writer, creator! I’m not quite finished as I’ll be participating in a talk back panel on March 4 and 7.
After my brain injury in 2005, I started doing fiber art. I went through a program at the Courage Center in MN and began taking adapted yoga classes with Matt Sanford and his instructors. I made a an oil pastel picture of how I felt about the class or maybe about yoga. I made several attempts to put it into a fiber art format. In the end, I chose to do a "whole cloth quilt" because really, despite our disabilities, we began to see ourselves as whole. Completed in about 2009 and about 4 feet by 3 feet. Status: It is part of the Permanent Collection at Moss Rehab in PA.

Traumatic microbleeds appear as dark lesions on MRI scans and suggest damage to brain blood vessels after head injury.
Using advanced imaging, researchers have uncovered new information regarding traumatic microbleeds, which appear as small, dark lesions on MRI scans after head injury but are typically too small to be detected on CT scans. The findings published in Brain suggest that traumatic microbleeds are a form of injury to brain blood vessels and may predict worse outcomes. The study was conducted in part by scientists at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health.

Why We Need Sleep
If you have ever felt foggy after a poor night’s sleep, it won’t surprise you that sleep significantly impacts brain function. First, a healthy amount of sleep is vital for “brain plasticity,” or the brain’s ability to adapt to input. If we sleep too little, we become unable to process what we’ve learned during the day and we have more trouble remembering it in the future. Researchers also believe that sleep may promote the removal of waste products from brain cells—something that seems to occur less efficiently when the brain is awake.Tips for Better Sleep
Good sleep habits (sometimes referred to as “sleep hygiene”) can help you get a good night’s sleep.
Some habits that can improve your sleep health:
-Be consistent. Go to bed at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning, including on the weekends
-Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, relaxing, and at a comfortable temperature
-Remove electronic devices, such as TVs, computers, and smart phones, from the bedroom
-Avoid large meals, caffeine, and alcohol before bedtime
-Get some exercise. Being physically active during the day can help you fall asleep more easily at night.
Sleep is vital to the rest of the body too. When people don’t get enough sleep, their health risks rise. Symptoms of depression, seizures, high blood pressure and migraines worsen. Immunity is compromised, increasing the likelihood of illness and infection. Sleep also plays a role in metabolism: Even one night of missed sleep can create a prediabetic state in an otherwise healthy person.
