An Involuntary Hiatus

Sorry for the recent silence on this page, but I suffered a serious fall at my home on Sunday, March 20. It left me with a concussion exacerbated by a subdural hematoma. I have been recovering—slowly but steadily—ever since then. This is the first day I’ve tried to check my computer. I still haven’t been able to resume reading, and have barely succeeded in entertaining myself with television.

There are too many e-mail messages to wade through just now, but I do want to let regular Rap Sheet readers know that I’m OK, and that I shall resume blogging as soon as I feel energetic enough again. I appreciate your patience in the meantime.

  8. So very sorry. As one who has been concussed a few times, though not quite to your level, the big thing is to go slow and not rush getting back to normal. Time is the healer.

    geez, one concussion is NBD, says moi who's racked up a baker's dozen c/o motorbikes,roofs,ladders,trees& an ex-spouse cop...but i digress...the BEST remedy is CBD oildrops,mega doses [10+Grams] of vit C,ACV,coconut oil & mag oil, plus NO dairy which fuels all inflammation(notmilk.com)...had this info been available 40 yrs ago,wouldn't have ended up with 4 yrs of total amnesia...better late than never,eh? cheers from a ret.mechanic,UofT
