Squash,

Sounds like anxiety to me also.

I have not had a problem with my wife touching my head since my injury but it has always been knowing she was going to touch it...she rubs it in the evenings. The other night she reached out without informing me to move some hair around and I smacked her hand out of a startled self defense response, I had no idea that was in me.

I say that to say head stuff is funny and it is important to recognize anxiety which is a very clever foe at times.

I have not flown since my accident which was one of my ways to be alone and decompress from a busy day....you can find other things in life that challenge you and set you at ease as skateboarding has been for you, the world is big and full of such legal and sane pursuits.
