Even riding a bicycle and falling is enough to cause a fatal head blow. Head trauma is a big killer world wide. Brain bleeds often go undiagnosed as most people are not aware of the signs and symptoms. Ah, Ill be ok, its just a headache!. By the time they are really sick it can be too late. In the DR I doubt that the public hospitals have brain surgeons on standby.

yeah, head injury is a sneaky fcuker because one may seem completely fine at first. as a kid i had lots of accidents and was always dragged to the emergency because of concussions.

RIP.

And even simple accidents can do it. A five year old in our neighborhood back in Miami tipped a birdbath over on himself and it hit him in the head. The adults thought he was OK when they put him too bed, but he never woke up.

I USED TO BE - THE - UNLUCKIEST PERSON I KNEW... then this happened...

as an INTROVERT - I literally have to force myself to post stuff, otherwise (since everyone is so FB-centric these days) will think something 'bad' has happened because i've 'disappeared' again. lol. whatever happened to on-the-fly phone calls? even personal texts? anyways, I'm alive and well
