Sounds like yours was a hell of a head injury. Hope that all turned out well.

I lived in Santa Cruz for 15 years and then moved up to San Francisco and have lived here for 10 years. If you're planning to be in the neighborhood, PM me and we'll meet up. That would be fun. Cheers.

I have no idea kcr Sep 2014 #51
