I've told a few individually but since this will go on for a while and my participation in near term events may be sketchy I thought I'd let you know.

I slipped and fell (99%certain) on ice Friday night.  I was able to self rescue and get to a convenience store for help but I managed to bruise my back, give myself a concussion and a brain bleed.  I've often said if you are going to screw up, don't mess around.

So, I spent two days in an ICU and another in a neuro ward.  I'm home now, and getting better slowly.  As Dave Feasel has told me many times, with a brian injury you look fine but stuff is not working.  I hope to get rid of the staples in my noggin tomorrow so I'll look fine (or at least the same).

All of this to tell you I may not make some of the events coming up.  I can't drive, and when I ride I end up closing my eyes because the hemmorage is near my visual cortex so the rapidly changing visuals are hard to process.  I have doctor stuff coming up soon so we'll see how things go.  I should be reassembled by the end of the year, I think.  As always, things could have been a lot worse.

Regards,

Mike
