A few months into my injury (someone pulled my legs out from under me while I was on skates....have never fallen in my life ...past four years old!!!)....my spouse told me I would skate again. 16 months post injury...he has sold my helmets and my skates have been donated. Downhill skis are next to go. I still have my bike but have not even tried. I often wonder how strange I would look on a three wheeler?!!! So sad to give up these things we love. But as you say, hard to risk another injury. Grieving and letting go, and trying to find something new.

I hit the tennis ball with my kids last week.....it felt good to do something physical at last...i was happy to see that people were not wearing helmets!

I have to give up squash.....a game I loved playing...because it really is a contact sport and way too much spinning and vestibular stuff. More grieving, because I also lose my squash 'friends'.

Fly fishing anyone?! What else? Swimming? If anyone has good suggestions for safe sports post mtbi, let us know!
