Welcome all.
@kimfeist and Brady, that is my hope too that this group will be a place to talk about stuff frankly and honestly - a place without judgement and boatloads of understanding from people who get it.

When you do physical activities like roller blading and skiing, what precautions do you take to protect yourself from re-injury?
@luckylizardlady I appreciate the humor in your post. You paint a great word picture imaging walking a goofy mutt early in your recovery. You must be kept busy caring for 5 lizards and 2 dogs. How have your pets helped your recovery?

Couple of nice brookies.
I've been wearing helmets for skiing, skating and biking for years. My former boss knew that if anything happened to my head it would be a disaster. Too much critical information was stored there. I was less than two months from retirement when my accident occurred and had been training a new person for three months.
@colleenyoung I fell down my stairs and had brain bleeding and stitches, 5 broken ribs, broken clavicle, collapsed lung and concussion. Was in the hospital in ICU and trauma for 2 weeks and have been home and mobile for a week. I was doing pretty well but now am dizzy a lot and lose balance and have hearing impairment. I know thing will eventually get better but wondered what prognosis is out there. Jan
