First was as a little kid, playing in a big box and while standing I made the box fall backwards and I hit my head upon landing. I don’t remember how long I may have been unconscious. Next was while in high school I was playing a friendly game of tackle football with friends, was tackled from behind and hit my head. At least I had the sense not to get back into the game, but I sure was woozy after waking up. Last was playing softball and konked heads with the first baseman after hitting a bouncer that he misfielded. That one I was out too. Too bad I can’t use this as an excuse with my wife, but these are possible reasons why my memory is not so good. I’m glad that the sports community has made such advancements, although it would not have helped me since none of those injuries were incurred from playing organized sports. Thanks for the really good information Dave.
