it's true that someone else could take offense.
Head injuries are traumatic, and because you look
the same in some cases, others don't understand
just how sick you are. I feel as if I have been
given a new lease on life after this one. The
last one, which I believe could have been
prevented was devastating. I hope you or anyone
else never have one. I can't believe that
athletes like hockey starts are sometimes sent
into the rink after post concussion. Good drs.
avoid that because second hits have high cumulative neurological damage probability.
Anyway, your joke is ok now for me, but two weeks
ago i would not have been able to read it as i was
flat on back.Squiggles
