It has started to come to the attention of the world that
sports can cause dangerous head injuries.
Boxing is one of the sports that is most damaging along with football. There are other things that can happen to
cause head damage. For instance,
motorcycles, bicycles (wear your helmets even if it's not a state law), car
accidents, and many more.
This accident was the cause for my fibermyalgia and
neuropathy. It caused some damage in the
brain but to what extent I don't know.
True, it could be the start of dementia or alzheimers since those
diseases run in my family. It's too soon
for it to start for me, but if it is starting, I'm sure the accident I suffered
in my 20's is the cause for it to start so soon.
Am I worried? Hell
yes, I am. It's something that can't be
prevented. I have a friend named Louise
Biehl who has a blog up right now titled, We All Have One, But How Are We Using It?
Her blog is about the brain,
and she'll be doing a series on the brain.
Many of you will find her blog interesting. Be sure to explore because she has discussed
many topics that might be worth your attention.
Anyone who has wants to buy
any of the books in The Odyssey Trilogy, The Catalyst, Addiction and The
Deceived, need to know they have been taken down from Amazon temporarily. I hope it won't be for long, but you never
know about these things. You can still
find them at my publisher, http://www.eirelander-publishing.com.
Have a safe week, and I'll
see everyone next Sunday.

Sandy, Thank you for posting this. Very important information. Ann
Thanks for coming by R. Ann. I'm hoping it helps others.
Sounds like a scary accident, Sandy. I wouldn't wish dimentia or alheizemers on anyone. My neighbor's mother is dealing with that now and it's so hard.
You drive safely, too! Hope the eyes are doing good. :)
Very thoughtful post. I don't think anyone in life hasn't smacked their head against something. I remember when I was a kid, falling on my head many times. (That explains a lot!) Unless you live in bubble wrap, you're going to get hurt occasionally.
I've landed on my head several times over the years! I hate you're going through pain.

It's a scary experience. I am glad you're well now. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you, Stacey. The eyes are healing nicely. I just want my glasses back. Smile.
Ilona, you're so right. We can't protect ourselves from everything. Thank you for coming by.
Thank you, K.T. I bet you played football. The head butting can damage a helmet so it doesn't keep protecting you. How much protection the helmet offers is still being debated.
Thank you for coming by, MJ.
