[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A family member of mine had a Trumatic brain injury. They got it as simply by losing their balance as they stepped up a normal curb they fell backwards and hit the back of their head. The overwhelming majority of brain damage was to the front of their brain because the brain bounces back-and-forth within the skull. Older people, like my family member, their brains have shrunk a bit from normal aging and so it is more dangerous for an elderly person to hit their head because there is more extra space for the brain to bounce.  My family member had to have a craniotomy and have a sizable portion of their skull removed for six months to allow the blood to drain and the brain swelling to dissipate.

Brain injuries are absolutely horrific and can happen much easier than people realize[/quote]

I will add to this, my family member did not want to go to the hospital. They thought they would just have a headache and be OK. Witnesses insisted they go to the hospital and called an ambulance and it saved their life.  It took a few hours before the brain bleed was enough that my family member was on the brink of death. It was not immediate. They had to wait for a neurosurgeon to get to the hospital and had he been another 20 minutes they would’ve died.  Someone can absolutely have hurt themselves as badly as Bob Saget and think that it’s just a headache and go to bed.  This is where we get the nursery rhyme from…[/quote]
