26. Amazing progress in medicine!

I've learned quite a bit of late about the brain. My husband fell in the bathroom recently and hit his head, causing a horrific loss of blood. I was stunned. EMT's got him out and took us to the ER. Several tests were done and his wound was sewn up and we went home. I learned that there is a lot of blood at the brain to protect it. He was OK and we were taken home by medical transport and the EMT's carried him up to his bed.

Your treatment sounds promising!

At first I read your wording "normal gait" as "normal gaiety" and I thought that sounded poetic and rather nice.
