Well
Don sure has got my interested up and I am certainly going to see if I can get his recommended book,
The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science by Dr. Norman Doidge -from the library.
Here is the USA Amazon link if anyone else is interested.

Daisy Head Mayziehttp://www.amazon.com/Daisy-Head-Mayzie-Classic-Seuss-Dr/dp/0679867120I bought a new bike helmet, today, as my old helmet does not cover that ole craniotomy hole. I was worried that ‘if’ I came off the bike and “got a ding on my old Bell� (

) that my skull could crack at the stress point. (Making me a total

) I’m determined that I AM going to get back on my old mountain bike and ride the safe, but not too steep and too dangerous, Oregon trails.
After months of research this was the helmet I came up with that will actually cover the base of the skull and most importantly “the hole�. So I thought I would just share this – in case anyone else feel they want to try bike riding, post craniotomy.

I doubt I will be yelling out as I did in my youth, “
Look Dad- no hands!� … but hey I AM going to ride again. MMM I wonder if I can ride and chew gun and the same time. I am determined that “the brain can retrain�…
What do you think- should I get a plastic flower and stick it to the top of my helmet?
Boppie- I hope you like that idea … it takes me back to this thread and makes me giggle.

Cheza recently? I had fish, chips, and a lovely spot of afternoon tea …and was thinking about her. I would love and update.
Ta ta for now darlings…
