Henry W. Hochstatter is A Survivor of Traumatic Brain Injury from Marianjoy Rehabilitation Health Center

My name is Henry W. Hochstatter. I am a TBI supporter for High Hopes at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital. The month of June in 2009 reminds me of the first time I attended the High Hopes Support Group for Traumatic Brain Injury, since my tragic accident with a semi-truck on March 23, 1979, along Addison Road, in Addison, Illinois.

I am the founding member of the High Hopes TBI Support Group at Marianjoy in Wheaton, since Dr. Jay Subarau established the High Hopes Traumatic Brain Injury Support Group at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital.

I was still in a wheelchair at the time, so I was wheeled over to the Cafeteria to attend the first High Hopes TBI meeting, downstairs at the Marianjoy Center. The first High Hopes meeting started at 7:00 p.m. in the evening, on the second Tuesday, in June 1979.

High Hopes TBI Support Group promotes hope for the future, while thinking of positive thoughts and ideas for recovery. To me, High Hopes represents a TBI support group in hopes that TBI patients do better on their journey to recovery.

Since my traumatic brain injury in 1979, I had broken my armcast on the right side at Marianjoy. I remember being on a wheelchair and learning to walk outside, while watching the mallard ducks outside the Marianjoy Rehabilitation Center. In 2009, I celebrate my 30th anniversary from recovery of a traumatic brain injury with treatment and rehabilitation at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Healthcare Center in Wheaton, Illinois, USA.

Steve's Left Turn Collision Side-Swiped Oncoming Toyota R5 SUV on Westmore-Meyers and St. Charles Road

Around 3:00 p.m. rush hour at the corner of Westmore-Meyers and St. Charles Road, Steve from Walgreens, drove a fast two-door sedan which made a left turn at the intersection of Westmore-Meyers and St. Charles Road against the green light and the right of way of the oncoming grey Toyota R5 SUV southbound on Westmore-Meyers crossing St. Charles Road. The two-car collision stopped traffic when the Toyota R5 SUV right side was side-swiped by the oncoming driver who failed to yield the right of way.

The intersection of Westmore-Meyers and St. Charles Road between Lombard and Villa Park is hazardous at rush hour due to fast drivers and unyielding vehicles failing to give the right of way to oncoming traffic.

National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

Colorectal cancer screening saves lives. If everyone aged 50 years old or older were screened regularly, as many as 60% of deaths from this cancer could be avoided.

Among cancers that affect both men and women, colorectal cancer—cancer of the colon or rectum—is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Colorectal cancer also is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the United States.

In most cases, colorectal cancer develops from precancerous polyps (abnormal growths) in the colon or rectum. Screening tests can find precancerous polyps, so that they can be removed before they turn into cancer. Screening tests also can find colorectal cancer early, when treatment works best.
