My frien...Oh, hyllo, then. Thanks for dropping by.<br /><br />My friend's mother went up to Oregon to visit a friend and while there, took a trial ride around the block on her friend's bike. Somehow in the space of this short and not awfully fast journey, she managed to go head first over the handlebars. She ended up in the hospital with brain swelling and the whole bit. She's recovered, but it took awhile and was not without its hitches. <br /><br />I sometimes find it ironic when parents very carefully put bike helmets on their kids but fail to put one on their own. You don't grow more invincible as you get older--in fact, it's probably the reverse.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988234147611386839.post-70466231292693589652009-12-21T00:39:42.700-08:002009-12-21T00:39:42.700-08:00Suppose I should say hello since that v word thing...Suppose I should say hello since that v word thing is hyllo. <br /><br />Yep, those sports and activities that often use gravity to help gather momentum are dangerous. My son plays high school sports and kids seem always to be injured from skiing, falling off of a bicycle, crashing their skate board and the like. When they are wearing their equipment they generally seem to do OK except for an occasional sprained joint.John Hnoreply@blogger.com
