"I think we're closer these days ... I just to make sure he knows I love him," says Geoff, of dad Mark Toomey (@InsightSBSGuest) #InsightSBS

[Insight Guest @InsightSBSGuest]

@JenBrockie thank you @JenBrockie for your energy and to your crew for the fantastic editing.

[Insight Guest @InsightSBSGuest]

@insightSBS @LisaJBryant it's been a pleasure... But Geoff wants to see more!

[Insight Guest @InsightSBSGuest]

@elliegrounds @insightSBS @LisaJBryant go for it Lisa, and make sure that you get NDIS to help. You deserve the support.

A whole new perspective on the types of people who engage in the bush doof scene. It's not all about drugs despite right wing beliefs. https://t.co/uKqOylssP2

[Amanda Copp @AmandaCoppNews]

Geoff was at a bush doof when he had an aneurysm. Just so happened to be a nurse and an ED doctor there to help him. Wow. #InsightSBS

Mark Toomey (@InsightSBSGuest) writes about how Geoff's #ABI has helped him understand his son more. #InsightSBS https://t.co/sc4RH59Coy

While Tish earned 2 Masters degrees after her #ABI 20 yrs ago, her mother Nanda admits caring for her has "ruined her life." #InsightSBS

[Insight Guest @InsightSBSGuest]

How long does it take? My mate returned to car racing 25 years after his ABI. They said he would never walk. #determination. #insightsbs

[Dr Natasha Lannin @NatashaLannin]

@insightSBS Dr Sam Grant talking about importance of carers of people with a #braininjury taking care of themselves #carers @BrainInjuryAus

[Bronwyn Alexander @EducatorBron]

I suspect tonight's episode of #InsightSBS on Acquired Brain Injury will be eye-opening to a lot of people fortunate to never experience it.

[Insight Guest @InsightSBSGuest]

@LisaJBryant we have a plan. But first we have to escape the hospital. We are ready for the next rehab phase - rebuilding life.

[Insight Guest @InsightSBSGuest]

@LisaJBryant @insightSBS oops, Rikki is lucky!

[Insight Guest @InsightSBSGuest]

@LisaJBryant @insightSBS Lisa is so lucky with her friends. Geoff has to start almost from scratch and that's​ hard in hospital.

[Insight Guest @InsightSBSGuest]

We know Zeke's​ story well too. So many of Geoff's friends could not cope with the changes and have faded to the background. #insightsbs

[Insight Guest @InsightSBSGuest]

Geoff Toomey is intensely focused on #insightsbs. He lives this topic every day.

[Insight Guest @InsightSBSGuest]

The long term recovery theme emerges. Restoring brain function after an ABI can take many years.

[Insight Guest @InsightSBSGuest]

Isabelle perfectly presents the impact of an ABI. All seems perfect, then from left field, the unexpected!

[Insight Guest @InsightSBSGuest]

Here we go. Geoff Toomey and I are ready for @insightSBS starting soon.
