I'm so sad! I can't believe Natasha Richardson has passed away. Although I liked her, I wouldn't consider myself a a huge fan. I think the thing that is touching me most is that it sounds like she basically died from a concussion. As the mother of a child that has had 4 concussions, 3 of them severe, it is so scary that one can fall while skiing, hit their head, and hours later be brain dead. I just keep thinking, it could have happened to us.
We call Travis concussion boy. His first one was at 10 years old while sledding. The second was when he was 15 and he jumped on his step-brothers car in a parking lot and his step brother took off. Travis rolled off and hit is head on the parking lot. The third one was while playing football and that was the worst of all. His last one was when he was in a car accident and it was mild.
Concussions are scary! Because when it first happens they act normal, then within 1/2 hour to 1 hour the symptoms start to show. I definitely know what to look for now!
Sorry I have not been posting much this week. 2 people are on vacation at work so it has been crazy busy!!
I did go away this past weekend overnight. Met some friends at the Indian Bear Lodge and we had a great time!!! Sometimes you just need to get away with the girls!! It is rejuvenating!
The funny of the week......I'm not sure how many of you are on facebook. I personally really enjoy it and have connected with a lot of people on there. In fact, if you are on there, I would love to be your friend! Anyway, John came upstairs the other day and goes, "Ohhhh I see you are on Assbook again." I about peed my pants I laughed so hard! I wonder how many other significant others, who are not computer literate, call Facebook Assbook.
Hope you all are having a great week!
