Default How do you stop hitting your head?

Tread very carefully.

You've had bad luck with yours, Margarite.

Had numerous hits to the skull during my lifetime. First being a loose flying discus when I was in high school. A couple of other serious ones, but the most recent fall caused the most symptoms. Slipped on my internal stairwell. All the floor covering in the house was either polished timber or sisal (jute). The sisal had worn on the corners of the stairs and I just slipped and smashed the back of my head into the corner of the mezzanine bathroom door.

Since then I tend to go out of my way to avoid any dangerous situations. I have a very slippery pebble driveway here that I have to manouver to get to my car if I wish to go out. I no longer even walk down it with shoes on. I guess the neighbours wonder about this woman who walks around in bare feet all the time. Oh well. I no longer care. It's a safety option.

The doctors along the way always comment after checking test results that I have an extra dense cranium and have actually been very fortunate.

What can I say to that... <sigh>
