Notwithstanding that my nation is hockey crazed, I suspect that the rate of concussion is probably pretty comparable among the industialized nations. Most concussion sufferers are young men. I suppose that has to do with their more active - and sometimes - risky lifestyles. Alcohol is directly invovled in 1/3 concussions. In my case, I was hit by a drunk driver.

Hi.
Thanks so much for the explanation. My goodness, the things I learn every day would astound you.
And I am SO sorry that you were hit by a drunk driver.
Too much of this is happening on a daily basis. Either that or texting while driving. The man across the street from me is 80 years young, drives everywhere and now has a broken hand because his car was in an accident right on our corner because THE OTHER PERSON WAS TEXTING WHILE DRIVING.
What a world we live in.
Anyway, much appreciate your explanation.
Hope you are feeling good today.
Take care,
Melody
