Head injury round-up

General


Only for those who wish to reveal such info, of course.

Fell down some stairs as a baby. Had a black tooth until it was replaced by the adult tooth.

Bicycle flip going down a hill in Minnesota, where the openings in a drainage grate were parallel to the direction of travel.

Ran into the crossbar of a laundry pole during my month in the U.S. Army, because I was hurrying to do something and the bill of my cap kept me from seeing that crossbar.

Another bicycle flip in Florida on level ground, because I had daisy-chained some bags from my handlebars after a shopping trip and they got caught between the frame and the front tire.

I've had numerous concussions, knocked out several times. I had chronic headaches for a year
A Chiropractor adjusted my neck, cured. I notice a fogginess now.

Maybe you should wear a helmet all of the time? 🤔

Haha, fair point!

That reminds me that in my dreams I recognize that it would be sensible and prudent to wear a helmet and a jacket whenever I go outside to practice levitation.

But the real problem is that I keep forgetting to practice!


I fell from my bicycle a few years back, the helmet was a total loss, the head not so.

I've had a few - not many - head injuries from playing rugby, doing judo, and I was hit on the cheek by a bouncer in a cricket match once [the next ball I carved over agriculture corner for six because I got some snide chirp from the slips about my stoicism about being dinged the previous delivery]. All of these incidents occurred last century. Oh. One other occasion was when I was four; I rode a tricycle through a plate glass door and had a few stitches above one of my eyebrows.

Well hell that explains a lot, not really your fault how you turned out. All the evidence hides in your head, pops out now and then in a RANT!!!

the worst ones you need to learn everything over again like walking.

I remember at about the age of 10-11 getting my first 3 speed/ handle bar brakes bicycle. A couple of pals went over to see a young lady one of us was “interested in”. We drove by her house and she came out to talk to us. I mentioned that I had a new bike and proceeded to show her how cool I was. As I came close to he I slammed on the brakes of what I thought were the back ones…I was wrong. I slid down the bar till I hit the handles bars and went flying over them but not before my “ head” interacted with the handle bars…oh wait that was a different “head”….forget it. No blood but a lot of pain.😲😢

Not nice? You notice the crap he says to me, or just the crap I say back to him.

Problems with tunnel vision?
