99. Thank you. I am glad you recovered from your concussion.

You are right it has to be very frightening to be disoriented and have amnesia. I have never hit my head that hard before. I had one life threatening incident when the Niacin my doctor had told me to take to lower my cholesterol, (and failed to tell me also lowers blood pressure) interacted with my blood pressure medicine, and caused my BP to drop way too low. I lost conciousness, and according to the EMT that came to my aid, actually stopped breathing, and had no pulse for a couple of minutes. When they got me back, I remembered everything right up to passing out.
