Glad to hear that all is well.
Can't be too careful, when it comes to the heart.

Great news MACS! Live for another day. Can't be too cautious when it comes to things like this and better to be safe than sorry. The heart is kinda important part of our miraculous machine that we call the human body.

I met with another neurologist the other day for my brain injury. She came to the same conclusion after reviewing the most recent brain scans as the other neurologist I was seeing (I wanted a 2nd opinion). Some of the capillaries in my brain are damaged and sealed off as a result of the head injury. Maybe I shouldn't have told her of my on and off dizzy spells. With that said, I had to be honest with my issues. Positive note, it's a common issue for trauma head injuries. Some blood vessels in the brain seal off but others are there to take take on the extra load.

She recommended that I still don't drive for the next 6 months (she has the ability and the professional responsibility to report the issues to the RMV to cancel my driver's license). I agreed with her to voluntarily not drive and suspend my driver's license.

I couldn't live with myself if I had brain misfire, vertigo, seizure while behind the wheel and then wake up in the hospital to learn I killed someone.

Hopefully things will be back to "normal" with the head issues by July time frame. I'm not sweating it. I have good friends and family to ride with for running errands and stuff if needed. Things will happen when they happen... I'm not in control of it. I can influence it but I can't control it.

Dang, Bucky... sorry to hear that my brother. 🙏 for a complete recovery.

As you said, the brain is pretty damn miraculous. It can repair itself from trauma like that. Praying that time heals you completely.

Sorry to hear Bucky. Giving up driving would be very hard for me in my area which is so spread out. Hope you recover fully.

Wish I had the ability to provide some good options for you, Buckminster. Here’s all I can muster.
#1: My mom could drive you around (not recommended).
#2: Because I’m not using it very often, you can use my brain.

Re #2. Not sure how I’d get my brain to you, which may make you NOT want to choose mine.

LMK if I should call mom.

Good luck on the recovery Bucky, and good call on driving. Maybe you could use a e-bike to get around. -Crap, bad idea...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the best wishes, the jokes and the humor. Not looking for sympathy. When I die I could try to donate my brain to medical science but after they review it, they would probably toss it in the hazardous waste bucket and choose the Abby Normal one.

Maybe if I wore a helmet that day riding my bike this wouldn't have happened. There's nothing anybody can do fix things. I just gotta follow Dr recommendations. I've been though more difficult times and I've survived. I'm sure I'll get thorough this too.

The local/regional city bus service has a shuttle program that covers my town and the surrounding towns. Runs M-F from like 5 AM to 7 PM. You set a schedule with them, tell them where and when to pick you up, and where to drop you off. Then tell them where and when to pick you up and where to drop you off for the return trip. Door to door shuttle service. It gets me to work and back easy enough and the times I scheduled to use it and my pickup/drop off location, I'm usually the only one on the shuttle.

It's like having a personal chauffeur. I pay $205/month - not a bad deal. Price depends on distance from point to point, age (they have student and elderly discounts), and frequency of monthly use. It's rather popular for those that can't or don't drive for one reason or another like medical issues, no vehicle or single car family, college students without a vehicle, your car is in the shop for a couple weeks and need transportation to and from work or school, etc...

Again, I appreciate the best wishes and the humor. I'm not offended if I'm the butt of the jokes based on my own stupidity.

Signed,
Bucky (with a little less fully functional brain matter than I had a last spring).

P.S. If those brain cells can't take a smash on the pavement and some inflammation then maybe I didn't need them anyway. Only the strong survive.

Buck,
The humor I was dispersing was an investment in humor, not meant to be at your expense. Think you know that, but just in case.

I’ll let my mom know she doesn’t have to relocate. (Investment).
