So sorry to hear of your fall and issue because and after that. Rest as you can. And do what you have to do to regain strength.

I have been absent from the archive for some time now. Unfortunately, I have not been able to take care of administrative areas. Fortunately, Paolo has stepped in to help.

I ended up in the hospital 7 weeks ago as a result of a couple of falls. I fractured my skull twice, concussion, bleeding on the brain, and general unconsciousness. I was in the hospital for six weeks, including 10 days unconscious. I am now in a rehab center, where I am working on neuropsych issues and physical therapy stuff. I expect to be back home in a couple more weeks.

:)OK want happen God give you a back hand or something? Oh OK so want did you do to get in this condition?7 weeks in the hospital is a long time and two skill fractures. I wish all the best and a quick recovery please take care of yourself .

I am back home now, and have been since Saturday the 7th. I fell 2 or may be 3 times, fracturing my skull front and back. One was the eye socket on the left side. I had 7 hormorages in the brain, and swelling as well. I am told I came very close to dieing. After 6 weeks in the hospital (I don't remember the first 5) I spent three weeks in a nursing home (transitional care facility), doing rehab. They taught me how to walk again with a cane, though I can get along some without it - I lose my balance at times, sometimes getting dizzy. I finally got my roommate to take me grocery shopping today -- all my food was gone, thrown away because of spoilage. I went over-board and spent a lot. Not working away from home right now; just working doing tax returns at home. I have a lot more time to watch the archive and catch up. It is good to be back with most of my sensibilities. Still practicing walking, trying to go without a cane when I can do it safely. Perhaps I will try driving my truck later this week, maybe next week, as long as I don't get dizzy.

Good to be here.

Good to have you back. No lets upgrade that to wonderful you are back. Did they find any underlying cause for the falls or were the hemorrhages causing the falls or the impacts of the falls causing you to hemorrhage? The fact that you can still do taxes means you have not had any major deficits of thoughts. Do not be so quick to discard that cane. After all that curved handle can be used to reach out to a handsome young altar boy when you are needing assistance.

Very glad you are improving. If you do still have occasional dizzy spells, it might be wise to invest in a walker to use part of the time. This would probbly give you added confidence at times and help you heal completely. Between a walker and a cane, you would improve faster, I know my wife did with two knee replacements and a hip replacement. Listen to your body. Will continue to keep you in mind and prayers.

So glad to hear you are on the mend! Take care of yourself before anything else.
