Some you may know I almost died from a brain/body injury

    For the last month I have been in hospital and have recently been released, some of you may know the reason, others may not. Don't really have any memory of the time, however I was told I hit my head due to some type of skateboarding accident, this caused me to fall into a coma and bleed into my brain etc etc.

    Here's a brief article I wrote describing the entire event, with a comedic aspect to not depress everyone. This isn't a form of promotion whatsoever, just figured you guys might want to read something else. Comments are always appreciated.

    Yeah, my long term is unbelievably better than it was before the accident. I can remember 20 years ago in a heart beat.

    What can we do? Wear a helmet, for starters.

    Yeah things happen. I do find the experience somewhat "cool" however.

    It's good that you survived. I've never been in a life-threatening accident. I'm praying not to experience it in the future

    I know Life is uncertain and some things are bound to happen, if they are to happen. You should perhaps be extra careful in threatening circumstances.

    One should stop risking his/her existence, just to appear cool! :( Life has given you a second chance...I hope you will make good use of it, now. :)

    Not right away and probably not seriously. I do find it kind of stupid that it was from such a basic thing. I've jumped off roofs, jumped onto handrails hundreds of times and fallen a bunch everything has been fine.

    Yeah, stay as optimistic as possible and you probably won't. : )

    Thanks, I might not have mentioned this earlier but I did receive a brain haemorrhage which caused a vein to pop in my brain and cause the bleeding.

    Thanks, I do wear helmets if it is an official park or something along those lines. Was never a fan of discomfort though. : ) Appreciate all the support though.

    Likewise. : )
